Amusing. I enjoyed this part: The incident—could it really be called a ‘‘war’’?— Well, when you're making up some hypothetical event in the future, you can call it anything you want. Kind of weird to question it yourself though. This whole thing is pretty stupid, though. As a former Navy guy, I find it pretty hard to believe that the US wouldn't be able to prove that China was responsible, or that they wouldn't retaliate even if they couldn't prove it.
