[QUOTE="Judge Bean, post: 15480, member: 42"] [b]China-Taiwan Situation[/b] They'll have a war, they'll have as much war as they can, restrained only by the costs. I don't mean the human costs. All you need to do is read the history of the world for the past couple of centuries. There is nothing unique about the modern age-- that is, other than our ability to kill more sooner than later. The "Cold War" was nothing but a protracted siege, in which two massive city-states held one another in artillery check for 50 years. Some fun. Traditionally, when the siege is broken, the victor is entitled to kill everyone in the other city. Upon such traditions our civilization is built. Now the Americans in power have convinced themselves that they have conquered the other city, and are entitled to roll in and kill anyone they encounter. This entitlement is felt religiously and patriotically. Any religion, on the other hand, compelled to surrender its dignity by means of some kind of "psyops" pork humiliation will simply adjust dogmatically and return to take heads. No, kids, it's not true that when you shoot the Chief all of the Indians turn and run away. My apologies to my comrade Native Americans. Urban populations have replaced artillery as the primary weapon of warfare; that is, the willingness to expend millions of your own people as the means to obtain advantage over other countries is the modern equivalent of the willingness to use up your pile of rocks millions of years ago to win the mudhole for your tribe. It is the [i]willingness [/i]to do it, mind you, not the actual [i]doing [/i]of it. Warfare is also nowadays symbolic, metaphorical. This is why the neocons are having so much difficulty adjusting their recipes to the actual oven of Iraq. The inhabitants of the Pentagon and Foggy Bottom exist in a Looking-glass world of "saying it makes it so" and "this computer program cost so much money, it must be able to predict all possible scenarios consequent to our complete abandonment of civilized values." There is no politics. There is no mission to bring freedom to the world by bombing irrelevant backwaters and putting foreign leaders in Leavenworth. Shall we wake up and smell the napalm? [/QUOTE]
