Hi Steven -- I read the Times piece. When Tyler does the book I will look for it in the Romance/Fantasy section at Barnes and Noble.

China needs nukes for defense? From whom? Japan? Taiwan?
Vietnam? The Philippines? The U.S.?

I enjoy the discussions we've had but I'm beginning to get the feeling that nothing would make you happier than to see some non-European nation rub USA nose in the dirt.

Hope I'm off base.

I don't want to go through Tyler's article line by line but want to note just a couple of things.

If a country has ONE nuke and an intercontinental delivery system, it's a problem.

China is NOT poor in brain power or political will.

"Communism" is an overused word. In Russia's case, "totalitarian" might have been more descriptive -- communism was the "sizzle" that the power elite used to sell the abuse.

BTW, do you think Lincoln would have been wise to free the slaves gradually? There have been problems, as you know.
