I agree and we are in a whole lot worse shape in the economic war than
we ever were in the cold war.
A problem would come up if someone popped a nuke on their front porch
tho.

I disagree that we're in a lot worse shape than China or Russia, unless you
mean we're in a lot worse shape lately.

The greatest threat is from a terrorist acquiring something like a nuke or
biological weapons and being able to deploy it.
