In the unforgettable words of Winston Churchill, “if Hitler invaded hell, I would help the devil.”
I would not be too eager to wish China bad things, they are an influential country in that region and if terrorists make a government like that fall or bend over, we’ll have another Spain in our hands. I don’t see the Chinese back down, they will take action with full force and throw more soldiers at the terrorists then they can wave a detonator at.
That being said, if China is attached and Obama wins,woe are us, finally we might get a hard hitting ally in the war on terror and we’ll have a president who wont even swat a fly. If McCain wins, it’s lights out for the terrorists if Chine get’s in. I might be wrong, but I’m sure my conservative friends wont post a million bad words (Read the Profanity article).
Of course I don’t want to see any innocent people getting hurt. But China’s been hurting quite a few in its attempt to present itself the way it wants to be seen during the Olympics. I’d sure like to see their Olympic showcase plans scrambled. As far as Chinese citizens are concerned, I imagine that dissidents won’t be among those that are be allowed in or near the Olympic venues will, so if any Chinese got hurt by terrorists, it would tend to be government loyalists. But of course, Muslim terrorists love to blow up children and Westerners too. I just hope that the terrorists end up forcing the Chinese government to undertake security measures that will detract from the planned PR show.
