Re: Again I think you are quite wrong. If it was as easy as you think it would have happened long ago. How on earth can you claim that it'd be "easy" for the US war machine to take on BOTH Iran and China?!? Not to mention the ensuing ethnic war between Anglos and Hispanics that'll break out soon after another war against Iran.... Do you think Chinese are THAT stupid? Do you think Chinese hawks have not figured out that, after Iran, China is next??? Who or what's gonna stop the US juggernaut from pushing its luck in East Asia (Taiwan, North Korea, Japan) after its successful regime change in Iran? For some strange reason, you seem incapable of linking the two issues, namely, Iran and Taiwan... how come? A Strategic Calculation Beijing’s policies appear grounded in a strategic calculation that an alignment with Iran is in Chinese interests. In April 2002, shortly after President Bush labeled Iran as a charter member of the “Axis of Evil,” Chinese President Jiang Zemin visited Teheran and conveyed the message that China and Iran hope to “prevent domination of a superpower on the entire world,” according to the Iranian press. “The two countries believe that for as long as a united and a comprehensive definition of ‘terrorism’ is not offered which can be endorsed by the international organizations, no state can attack other countries under the pretext of fighting terrorism and on the basis of its own definition of the term,” reported Iran’s state-controlled media. The Iranian press reported that “some political observers” saw the “visit of China's president to Iran in the new century . . . as the undeclared coalition of the two sides against America.” In Tehran, Jiang declared that China’s policy was “to oppose American deployments in Central Asia and the Middle East.” He also pledged that “one of China’s most important diplomatic missions is to strengthen unity and cooperation with developing countries and to avoid having developing countries become the targets of American military attacks.” [...] heritage.org
