OT Give me a break! "We stop them now or we stop them later."

Please view China as a teenage country, feeling their oats, drivng a little recklessly. What is needed from our side is maturity not threats. Internally our policy should be a mix of unrestrained free trade and free exchange of information while never stopping to remind them about democracy and human rights. Eventually this leadership will fall, hopefully thru peaceful change. This will all be settled in a few days. Appeasement talk is off base. We should continue to do all we can to contain them but there is no need to talk of war. That would be a catastrophe.
