On Q3, I'd hate to imagine what might happen were we to have a replay of the '99 embassy bombing or the '01 Hainan incident, or anything like them, in these times. It might be good to go back and re-read E.H. Carr's "Twenty Years Crisis." Many people think great powers today are not likely to go to war, that we've all learned from the past. Oh, I wish it were true. People in Carr's day and age thought that too. And then came 1939.
