On the matter of China I think Mr Bush has pushed them in a corner. They cant sustain their growth.

We will bury them as they cant fund their growth. They are Commies, They dont understand free trade

Dead wrong. The dopes and traitors who run this country have mortgaged our future to China. It is wishful thinking of an extreme sort to think that China merely wants "prosperity." They do understand free trade enough to use it as a weapon to subvert and destroy us. And we are going to learn the hard way that cornering access to resources remains the name of the game in world-power politics, as it has been for centuries. We may soon be unable to buy energy and other minerals at any affordable price, because the Chinese and Russians and their friends will control access. Our "free-market" utopian fantasies will be shattered.

I'm really getting fed up with the wishful thinking here on FR. Lots of people told us that Russia was a joke, its military a rusting hulk. Who on their borders is willing or able to stop them from reassembling their empire?

Actually, the U.S. is the one which can’t fund itself. We are the world’s largest debtor nation, and who holds much of that debt? Countries which have a long-term interest in our downfall, like China.
