              Cite Gen. Petraeus' maniacal worldview some more. That's certainly going to lead to less chaos & more goodwill between these groups

                                          you're the one making shit up.

                                          Petraeus was wrong, and he was his own worst enemy in other ways.

                                          but the key point is that you think America's global War on Terror is applicable to Xinjiang, and again that's nonsense
