I'm not saying the war in iraq was great or justified or anything like that mind you, it sucks that a lot of people on all sides died at incredible expense, the rep of the US was tarnished to hell, and it seems there was not any substantive gain.

The analogy I am making however is that it gives credence for all actions against Fauxi and his partners in crime, up to and including military intervention. And the CCP is part of that, and they know it.
