Let's go on an all-out bent, like we did with USSR, to contain (crush, if need be) China, just like we did with the USSR.

What do you think? Ever since I started working in China, and seeing how the people think (which the article captures very nicely...I'm serious!), I consistently come to this question:

Do you want a Chinese hegemony or an American one?

...let's hear your thoughts...
...PS: I was and still am against being in Iraq, and am against the US as "global police" but fighting China, to me, is national security for the future.

Another reason for preemptive (political, hopefully) strike?

And I just found a (very brief) article more toward the other direction: that China is just staying their own course, and is unlikely to want to destroy the American hegemony:

Also one regarding how foolish our military efforts are:

(I argue that they most definitely want to be the next hegemony and believe that they can do it while keeping Americans as "good little consumers")
