I had a friend who had the ability to get two people at a bar arguing with 
each other. Then he would slip away. Unfortunately the US doesn't have the 
ability to get two enemies to the point of mutual destruction. It usually 
has to take sides even when there is no advantage.

If it does make the attempt it screws it up. How did that Sino-Soviet 
split work in the long run?
