If this is really going on - the Iraq/Middle East takeover is the USA's only solution to the Chinese juggernaught - then god help us when China gets worried the US might succeed.  I really hope none of this is true and that we're all just loony.  Otherwise, this is WW3 happening right now and it's gonna get a lot uglier.

China & Russia are very concerned about US influence in the Middle East, but they are smart and stay out of the region as we blunder along.
