[QUOTE]Originally posted by Mucus: [QB] Puh-lease, try getting a grip on reality. First of all, its rather obvious to an impartial observer that neither side is really at fault. Apparantly, planes playing chicken with each other in that general area, has been going on for quite some time. Ex: American plane flies over sea claimed by China, Chinese send planes to buzz close by, American plane flies back, repeat ad nausem. Its about as mature as drunk teenagers playing chicken on a highway. The US is hardly going to war over this if the crew members are treated well, as they have been so far (from even American sources) and I see no difficulty in this stand-off stretching on for days, or even weeks with nothing happening. Neither side has anything to gain by a war... most of the racket is just either side's military deciding to make noise out of pride. But in the end, the US has too much business in the area to randomly go to war, and China has nothing to gain...if you want to get your kicks blowing stuff up, just go lob a few Tomahawk missiles at a few Afghanistan terrorists or something....
