China is gonna be left holding the bag. Israel is going to take care of Iran for us (and themselves). Then China can deal with a free Iran. If we have to kick Chinese butt, so be it. There may be a lot of them, but we're *still* The Good Guys and will win. Eventually. At a huge cost. But *We Will Win*.
Exaclty...the processing of uranium and development of weapons needs to be stopped post haste. Things are starting to move as alliances and sides are solidified (that I believe have been building for a long time specifically to confront us).
Maybe now people will see the value in lowering the value of the American dollar, since China owns so much of it.
On the other side of the coin, maybe China can participate a bit more in the thankless job of keeping the oil shipping lanes open, a thankless job that the USA has been doing almost entirely on it's own, for the benifit of China and Japan and Europe, who are far more dependant on middle east oil than North America is, and they are becomming more so with each passing year.
Nobody will win, but somebody is going to lose worse. After that nobody will dare taunt us again for centuries.
