The latest addled conspiracy theory is that the current scare over melamine in pet/human food was caused by intentional doctoring of the food by the Chinese. Yeah, as if the Chinese were going to destroy their own business by sabotaging themselves. I have a better conspiracy theory, which reflects the oddnesses that:
- the Chinese don’t seem to know what is going on, and
- the Americans are working glacially slowly to determine what the real problem is.
What if the melamine problem was the Bush Administration’s plan to deal with the Chinese trade deficit? A few dead pets equals no more agricultural trade with China. The neocons, as distinctly opposed to the American Establishment, really hate the Chinese (more on this important issue to come).
