Nations Acting Like Children

"CHILDREN! CHIDLREN!" It is remindful of a pair of spoiled six year olds, arguing on the playground. First, our Chinese friends flex their muscles by declaring an extension outward of their national air space, inside of which no one can go without Chinese permission. Then, within a day of this declaration, two American B52 bombers go flying through, you guessed it, the new Chinese air space. Children children. No need for alarm, the B52s were unarmed, (they claim.) Give the United States credit; a B52 once flew right over me, and it scared the hell out of me, even though it was on my side. Surely our Chines friends understand how many atomic bombs and long range delivery systems we the American Empire have, and how frighteningly willing we are to use them. We Americans may be fat, greedy, and arrogant, but give credit where credit is due: we know how to kill. Haven't we proven that time and again, in Iraq, In Afghanistan, in a millionn other places? The Chinese government expresses outrage over the incident, and announces its intention and ability to defend its air space. Whatever. You hope that they don't extend their air space any further, to include, for instance, the entire world. The United States, Japan, South Korea, and the Phillipines refuse to accept the new Chinese air space. Even Caroline Kennedy, feeling her oats as the new U.S. Ambassador to Japan, issued some sort of warning to China. In other words, more of the same typical human bullshit. Presumably, Obama ordered or approved the B52 stunt as a way of proving his manliness. Democrat Presidents tend to do that. A blogosphere rumor was that the Chinese people are qauite upset by all this; this seems hard to believe. The chinese people don't want to engage in conflicts with other countries, especially the mighty United States. International law defines proper national air space. China and Japan disagree on ownership of a small group of uninhabited islands between the two countries. Like children on a playground, drawing lines in the dirt.
