Nor the U.S. Short of that, there is no contest. The US is better trained, better equipped, and just better. China doesn't even have a formidable navy. I don't think they have a single operable submarine. Our Coast Guard alone could kill their navy. Given that, short of nuclear war our turf is safe. > >250,000 000 million US people, to well over 1 billion Chinese who all seem to do >military service some time in their lives.

The difference is they sit in their little ditches with bayonets screaming "come on!", while we sit off the coast in warships and deploy trained marines and the world's best carrier pilots. > >Have you seem their military parades ??

China has been >critical of the US allot lately, but you guys will never hear it. I read an article in a tech magazine several months ago about a guy in Japan who was deploying some kind of wireless telecommunications network... He went on at length about China... you see, the television their is state controlled. The people there see what their government wants them to see. Contrary to what you may think, our media is not state controlled. At least not to that extent. > >The catalyst will be when China finally gets tired and invades the country they >claim is theirs, Taiwan. Then you will see nothing happen. Cause who the hell is >going to risk a world war going against china directly when they finally invade >that country ????? You may be right about that.... sad but true. > >Australia does not push it politics on anyone, apart from east timor and >Indonesia. I'd have to agree. There are different opinions in the US about our role in the global "scheme of things." Some believe we should be the world's police force; that it is in our best interest to keep the peace around the world. One of our navy's primary missions is to ensure that sea lanes stay open worldwide for trading. Others think we overextend and stick our nose in where it doesn't belong. Our military should fight war, win war, and come home until the next war. It's tough to say who's right, but consider this: suppose the rest of the world stands back and watches as tensions escalate between India and Pakistan. Suppose (not hard to do) that they both are nuclear capable. We don't want to get involved, because it's not "our business." Then nuclear war breaks out.... and we're all toast. Seems somebody should've gotten involved, heh? -- James
