TJ, those are interesting thoughts, and I would like to concur with Kissinger. But history has shown that when non-democratic rulers (and even democratic leaders) want to distract their populace from internal troubles, it's often useful to create an external enemy and spoil for a fight. In the case of China, this includes the Spratly's/S. China Sea, as well as Taiwan. Currently everything is relatively stable and hopefully a military confrontation will never come to pass. But bellicose rhetoric on the part of Chinese military leadership only drives the local countries in the region into the arms of the US and collective security. I have no desire to see the US go to war with China. But neither do I want to see China bullying it's neighbors, or attempting to encroach on critical international sea lanes. Hawk
