<< If the Chinese aimed a missile at Cuba and it landed in Washington, D.C. would we say "oops, mistake, too bad"? >> You have stepped in the Do-Do of your own argument. Would we have declared war against the Chinese if this happened? Of course not. (In fact, some on this thread would've thanked the Chinese <g>) OTOH, I wish China would aim a missile right up Castro's arse! << Bombing the soverign soil of a country is an act of war. The Chinese may decide not to declare war, but that doesn't make it any the less an act of war. >> Chris, even you can't use that horseshit of an argument with a straight face. An act of war is an act of belligerence. The accidental bombing of the Chinese Embassy was an accident. OTOH, I wonder what China is up to? Are they using this as a smoke screen to attack Taiwan while the US is preoccupied and embarrassed?
