China threat? It's a blessing
China has not tried to manage its security among the motley collection of 21 states and territories that surround it, concentrating on butter before guns while pursuing its own economic buildup. In turn, the strong United States presence in the region, notably in Japan and South Korea, saves other Asian countries from worrying about managing China's growth. China's "threat" then is a positive; it is the reason for the peaceful development of the Asia-Pacific region. - Francesco Sisci

The escalation ignores the fact that commando raids and missile strikes will not weaken the Taliban or al-Qaeda, and will certainly provoke reactions that could tilt the population further toward Islamic radicals. - Gareth Porter
