You people are afraid of your own shadows. What you maynot or may know is that for every threat there are several options including shooting down any satellites from our adversaries.
What we need to concern ourselves with is a joint pact between Russia and China against the U.S. and our allies, the only way to stop this is to nuke them. I would prefer using a Neutron Bomb, kills everyone and everything, but has no residule radiation. We need to have these and other items such as scramjets and rockets to drive home the knockout punch.
Anyways the only way to defeat the Chinese is to keep them out of Los Alamos and other sentitive areas. Changeour tactics and most of our arsenal without anyone knowing what we have including killer satellites and lasers in space etc.
Let us not make the mistakes of Chamberland the stupid and gulliable Primeminister of Great Britain prior to WWII. Let us not let our guard down and be ever vigilant to keep our country safe. We need to stop worrying what others think about us and not be the world’s patsy but be aggressive in our stance and our defense.

"Look who's talking about another's 'agression'- another fire breathing 'conservative'. It never fails to amaze me that you guys would label all those people you don't like as agressors, terrorists or whatever creative terms you guys can come up with. You people were the ones who had misled, misrepresented and deceived not only us - the American tax payers but all the people in the world on this Iraq fiasco. Where are the WMD? The only country that needs a regime change is none other than the U.S. Can't believe people can swallow lies like the ones put out by this administration and send their kids to Iraq to get killed for the enrichment of two oilmen and their buddies in the oil industry. Don't you guys remember Dicky boy was the CEO of Haliburton before he nominated himself as the VP? Also Haliburton was the same company that overcharged us - the tax payers over 6 billions dollars a few years ago in supply the army in Iraq. What a coincidence if one may say so. Wake up and do something positive about this world and help our fellow man before it's too late." First of all, Oil is a commodity. A commodity is anything for which there is demand, but which is supplied without qualitative differentiation across a given market. In the world market there is a limited ammount of Oil available for purchase at any time, and there is a set "All Clear" price at which if something is placed at that price, all of the commodity (In this case oil) that is available for sale will be sold. If the United States buys oil from Russia at the buy price, someone else will buy from Iraq. We can't stop someone from buying from Iraq, if they put the oil up for sale it will be sold theoretically within a second. If we buy from Iraq, then the person who was previously buying oil from Iraq will then have to buy it from where we were previously buying that Oil, in the example I used, Russia. We didn't go to Iraq for the oil, so don't use that as basis for an arguement. We went because we knew he had weapons of mass destruction. How did we know? Because we gave him weapons of mass destruction, and in our treaty with Iraq that closed the first gulf war, it was required that they keep those weapons. Why? Because we'd rather have balanced Iraq and balanced Iran so that one doesn't become more powerful than the other. We know how many weapons of mass destruction they used, its kind of hard to avoid that. We required them, in the treaty, to allow us to make weapon checks. They denied and so we, since the agreement said so, restablished the gulf war.

“So now would it be OK for the US to work on “star wars” or whatever satelite defence/anti missile net we have been trying to do without the HUGE INSANE flak jabber retarted pacifist criticism that is the norm?“

Scandlyn is right. No matter what we do the rest of the world is convinced it's done for selfish reasons. Maybe it is, partially, in that we're all about business and stability is good for business. But I suppose there's no use dealing with small problems when you can wait for them to become big problems while priding yourself on advancing the cause of peace. Personally, I don't care if Iran nukes Israel. Of course, the Israelis will respond with their own nukes, and it won't be just Iran that gets what's coming, but so what? They can all go to their hateful, radioactive grave for all I care. The US has more coal than the rest of the world put together, so we're in the best position to live in the aftermath. Instead of buying oil we'll sell coal. As far as China goes, there's no reason for the US to oppose the invasion of Taiwan. So they're not free anymore. Who cares? We can still buy toys from China. Of course, that will prompt Japan and South Korea to acquire nuclear weapons. I mean, you're right, instead of having one world superpower things will be much more peaceful if there's a bunch of regional powers, uh, like in the 1930s, only with nuclear weapons.

Razorblade erred in saying it takes only 30 seconds for a submarine launched ballistic missile from a Chinese sub to reach Washington DC. I don't know where the sub would have to be moored in order to achieve that small time frame probably right in the Potomac River. You and the neo-cons need to get the facts right that the Chinese has only one Xia class and is building one or may be two type 094 nuclear ballistic missile sub while the U.S. has 14 Trident at last count and the remaining 4 have been converted into cruise missile subs with over 100 potentially nuclear tipped cruise missiles each ready to launch at a moment notice. Also the U.S. is the only country that has more technologically advanced nuclear attack subs than the rest of the world combined. Your article failed to address the fact that the U.S. is the only superpower who has consistenly refused to sign an agreement of no first use of nuclear weapons policy in which I believe both the Chinese and the Russians have already done so. I suppose the neo-cons in the U.S. need to look for another 'evil' country to justify spending another 500 billions of dollars (money that you guys don't have) in the defence of 'democracy of the world'. You guys talk about human rights abuse in China and other countries that the U.S. dislike but yet you guys conveniently overlook other countries' transgressions such as Egypt and Pakistan (just to name a few). I admit China has abused human rights in the past and probably will reoffend again in the future. It takes time and patience for democracy to take roots and germinate in any culture. China has only been really opened to he outside world for about twenty some odd years. One only needs to look at the black Americans who were freed from slavery by Abe Lincoln in 1860's and weren't allowed to vote and enjoy some form of basic human rights till 1965 or 1966 when the bill of rights to vote was signed into law by the late Lyndon Johnson at the height of an earlier fiasco. Yet the black Americans are still being discriminated systematically in your society. How about the abuses levelled against the American Indians by the 'white' Americans over the years and still happening these days? If you guys wish to blow this world to kingdom come just be my guest for I'm ready to face my creator but I have doubts about the neo-cons like your President and VP.

Al-Qaeda is said to be able to detonate a low-yield nuclear device in a major metropolitan center (Washington, DC) in about a year to two years. There is nothing we can do to stop it — but rather, only to delay it. “Little Boy” that took out Hiroshima had 600 mg of Highly Enriched Uranium (HEU). Only 6 grams of HEU went into critical mass and energy. Hiroshima is roughly 550 square miles. Washington DC is roughly 62 square miles. When al-Qaeda hits WA, DC, that will take out our national elected leadership, our national civilian leadership, our national military leadership, our national-level law enforcement leadership and most of the agencies that provide our national infrastructure. A high-ranking Chinese General that has defected has exposed the plans of China to nuke the US. China is approaching the “point of no return” in their aggression. The General said they will hit about 200 targets. They will not do that with their Air Force, nor their Navy, it is impossible to march their Army up from Mexico or down from Canada, but they will take out the US by submarine. They have more submarines than the US. Their newest subs are equal to or greater than the subs of the US. From the moment of a submarine launch to detonation over the target, it can take as little as 30 seconds. Exactly as al-Qaeda hopes to hit Washington, DC, China will also hit DC. That will “decapitate the serpent”. Then at their leisure China will take out each State capitol and then the one or two biggest military installations in each State. We will not get a single missile launched in return. This will all be committed against the US sometime in the next 20 years, probably in 10 years or less. The FBI believes this is 100% true. They have quietly begun moving critical functions and essential personnel out of the anticipated blast zone of WA, DC. However, they have grossly underestimated the area of ground zero. For America, I pity the survivors. I am a DoD civilian Assistant to a Colonel in the Marine Corps.
