"Also worrying for China is the possibility
of being encircled by U.S. forces. The United
States already has bases in Japan and
South Korea and a presence in the Philippines,
as well as strong ties with Taiwan, India and
Australia. A permanent foothold in
Central Asia would tighten the noose around the Asian giant."
I just thought of a great political cartoon:
It shows Dubya and Cheney [remote] and Rumsfeld
all looking at this little child's play pen with
some toy guns (whatever...) in it.
Bush exclaims: "They's got us surrounded, Don! (You know the
math: on a closed surfact like the
earth-ball, every circle drawn on the
surface defines two topologically equivalent
separated regions, for each of which the other is the
outside.)
