i'm not sure of annihilation by china, but life here would slowly become like life in Israel, or Karachi, or Kashmir or Sarajevo or Chechenya... I doubt if anyone here can really understand the dynamics of such a change and what it entails. Americans have enjoyed peace for such a long that most cannot imagine what it is to be living under a constant threat of violence. It changes the fabric of the society - beside having the obvious economic fallout, it creates an increase in teenage pregnancies, suicides, divorces, crime, mental health problems...you name it.... I was doing college in Kashmir back then and life was good. No crime, great living standards. And then terrorism struck.....and spread to other parts of India <with Panjab>. Another aspect of terrorism is brain drain and de-gentrification of larger cities....people will emigrate to safer places, some even out of US.....and that may really affect US economy....and the downward spiral accelerates.... Not a decent scenario IMO... Oh well !
