Suspicious?

So is it suspicious that multiple cities moved in, at roughly the same time frame to remove Occupy Movements in overnight raids? I think a key word could be "raid". I get the defense of sanitation being an issue, but I didn't know pepper spray and batons were appropriate responses to uncleanliness.

Also a little disappointed in American Foreign Policy, both in the Pacific sector: Obama spoke in favor of the Pacific Free-Trade pac, because NAFTA has worked so well, and then just yesterday (time frame?) "subtly" threatening China: "The US is a Pacific power." Yes because diplomacy and working to ensure stability in the region has failed. You know instead of insuring peaceful collaboration between Japan, Taiwan, the Koreas, and many other countries in the region; we've got to assert that our dicks are huge and can in fact (like the Great Wall) be seen from space.

To my friends in China (and Japan, Korea, and the rest East Asia): I'm sorry that it's got to be a pissing contest. Please China just turn the other cheek! I know the U.S. is being a bully, but just continuing developing your technology and working with the Asian powers in the region (hell you want to be a dick back? Work Russia into a little deal, nothing major, but just a little shot across the bow (if you will)). Just be the "bigger person"....Please?

*Sigh*
