It is easy to focus on the "tip of the iceberg", but most of it is in the water, ready to rip apart the hull! I see your image perfectly, and add to it, the will of the Chinese to increase their stance in the world. they do not like playing catch-up, but have done a good job of stealing from everyone else to accomplish their task.
Clinton was not the first, but probably the worst... faciltator in their game!
Chinese were Clinton's buddies, Mexicans are there for GWB! Americans? We just pay the bills for their pandering and bend over!
Ahh yes, mustn't let a thread go Mex-illegals free. Quite a stretch to equate the two or have I missed something? Is Mexico building nuke subs, missiles, etc - did they get super secret military technology from Bush? How big is their standing army, their navy, their air force? (apples and oranges.)
On the other hand, you iceberg photo is great.
