I know what you are saying is true, but how long will it take China to catch up? Wasn't a big part of the Cold War all about spending more money, and creating more missiles?

And when we finally get our missile defense capabilities--and then give the technology to China--wouldn't "more" warheads mean "better"? or would they just sneak them in across the border or through O'Hare airport. It's cheaper that way, and we seem more than willing to oblige them.

There's ONE country with the disposable income to do that, and that country is the US of A.

China is Enron with a small nuclear arsenal. By the time they get a moderate-sized one together, they'll be shooting 'em at each other instead of us.
