Rick Santorum declared War on China in October 2011.

Well, it's all a matter of interpretation.

If the declarations and statements from Iranian personalities can be distorted and interepreted in a way to make it sound very "menacing", why the declarations and statements from American personalities can't be interpreted that way?

We are all supposed to be looking for the most accurate meaning in someone else's speech. That requires looking at all the evidence available. You're giving me the impression that you're not looking for the accurate meaning of Santorum's speech, but rather you're trying to twist his words into the meaning you want. I wish you hadn't started this thread, it is not honest.
