Too late, Jim. You already screwed up.

Why is it that the Euros don´t feel any compelling need to fly spy planes just off the Chinese coast? Why indeed. Or anyone else either. Only our deeply admired philosophical cousins across the Atlantic, of course they need to do this sort of thing. So what if it alienates one fifth of the world population.

Absurdly this was in the interest of "national security". Of all paradoxical things.

Has anyone ever noticed that China is oddly positioned in the other side of the globe than the US? The likelihood of them invading Alabama are quite remote. Even engineer would find it hard to dream up a scenario. Neither the Chinese are gaining the upper hand in the propaganda war of changing the constitution turning the US communist.

National security is a funny thing. The more you have it the less you have it. Has anyone ever seen anybody burning a Danish flag? When was the embassy of Germany bombed up last time? Why Europe is not called the great satan?
