< <<Countries don't have experience>> ... wrong again.> If you say countries have experience, which seems silly to me, as experience is resident in brains, and "countries" are only as old as the last leader taking over, but let's suppose they do. USA history goes back, and back, and back, through umpteen revolutions and conflicts for thousands of years into the mists of the ice age and back and back to neanderthal people and the new blokes from Africa umpteen eras ago. The USA is just the Taiwan of England. The USA won the civil war with England. Then had another civil war. England is the result of many vortices down through the ages, with experience adding to experience to experience. So in terms of experience, all of humanity ends up back at the same point, with Lucy, the original mother, being dead for a longgggg time. So, how come you think that Beijing has so much more experience than Washington? I note too that Washington has a very eclectic bunch of people from all around the world, whereas Beijing has a bunch of Gengkis Khan spawn who all think the same according to Yiwu the Mad [as one would expect from a bunch of clones]. Bring on the experience! <<<King George II is not at all busy in Mesopotamia>> ... wrong once more.> Meaning in the limited sense of aircraft carriers, ICBMs, B52s, and a LOT of other hardware not being involved. You are of course right in the limited sense that the USA is very busy with ground troops and don't have many to spare and have been extending tours of duty to man the barricades. <<< wonder if Hu Jintao and Vladimir will misunderestimate King George II>> ... what do you think? What is there to underestimate? > His religious convictions, his anger, his bloody-mindedness, his sense of purpose, his sense of history, his sense of self, his military back-up, his political capital.
