The PRC is a far bigger threat to the existence of the United States
than Iraq, Iran, and Syria combined. But Bush isn't going to threaten
the PRC with a sword, because the Chinese would laugh at us.


The US could easily flatten China, but you'd be back to that old MAD
scenario. So unless George W can promise a quick trip to heaven and a dozen
or so virgins per man..... it a no win situation.
