The US government and the US citizens have a fear of not being the highest on the food chain. If the US is a Lion and China is a shark, why would it make and difference, its not like Lions are going to start swimming in the ocean! LMFAO, Image a lion drinking at a watering hole and a big great white shark comes up and eats the lion! Now that what I call crazy! Just about as crazy as a war with China would be. So when Lions start getting eaten by sharks, I'll worry about China invading or attacking the US.
