So Jay... does that mean that any Cuban military vessel or plane that transits the US 200 mile economic zone is "hostile"? How about the fact that the Russians still have an extensive listening and collection operation located in Cuba listening to every communication we send out? Call we call that an intrusion into our national sovereignty? Doe that mean that Taiwan, since it falls within China's 200 mile economic zone really belongs to China? Would that apply to N. Korea as well? And since China claims the Spratly Islands, will they extend that economic zone from there as well and claim to be able to control all traffic that flows between there and China? Again, Jay... China is suddenly making up rules to justify their claim as well, DESPITE the long established protocols that denote national sovereignty being limited to 12 miles. To permit China to extend their soverign borders to 200 in distance would set a terrible and very dangerous precedent, and tremendous conflicts between nations that overlap each others EZs... And it would provide China justification to attack any military ship that traveled through the Taiwan Straits. That's just simply BS and I don't care what these libertarians state. 12 miles has been the long-established soveriegn boundaries for nations, not 200 miles. Furthermore, if China can claim full economic control over that 200 mile portion of the air and sea, they can theoretically assert territorial control over all traffic that passes through. This is why the US must stand by the 12 mile borders, and not cave in to the 200 mile limit. It would create a nasty precedent that many other nations would assert against both the US and their own neighbors. And btw, I don't have a problem with the Chinese flying within 12 miles of the US with their spy planes. The Russians do it all the time. Regards, Ron
