[QUOTE="psychonaut13, post: 168855, member: 7982"] the united states can NOT win a war with China. all China would have to do is cut their exports to the US "until the trade deficit is balanced back out", and the american economy goes streaming down the tubes. this country is in some serious shit. thanks to nafta and corporate ass rapers like Walmart, the domestic trade deficit has sky rocketed in the last 15 years to a point that is practically past no return. the US went into war with Iraq and they weren't prepared for it at all. the idea that the US believes they can "stabilize" iraq is so far from possibility that it amazes me that our troops are still there. look at it this way. in iraq there are three extreme separitist islamic factions. all three of them each believe they are the only ones that are "right" in their belief of what their prophet said or their interpretation of the koran. each one has been struggling to get their own patsy in office since day one. saddam was part of the bath party....probably the craziest(read most facist) of the three. it makes no difference if the general assembly of the people of iraq vote in a member of one sect or the other two...it will still bring more attacks from the parites that don't get a leader in the system. i leave you with an interesting quote from a truely great magazine called [url=http://www.adbusters.org]Adbusters[/url] [size=2](which i'll have to paraphrase as i can't find the issue it was in at the moment)[/size] We have to do the same thing that we did in Japan and Germany. We're going to set up your government, pick your leaders, and run your economy. And maybe after a couple of decades we'll let you run it yourself. [/QUOTE]
