China is quite capitalist, of course, but they do continue with the rhetoric, and the aggression.

Replace 'pseudo-Communist' with 'openly capitalist', as China more or less is. Oh and now that sentence perfectly describes the US also, incidently. And I don't see why a capitalist such as yourself should have any problem with them wanting 'as much money as physically possible'? Surely the market will decide?

The free-market and national aggression are incompatible with one another. Desire for profit does not supersede stability, morality, or freedom.

That's obviously nonsense. The US government knew Iraq had no (functional) WMDs, was no threat to the US, and was in fact a hostile environment for Al-Qaeda as Hussein was a secular leader who was very fond of stability, for all his numerous shortcomings.

Then it was all a grand conspiracy then, wasn't it.
