<Our only really good future leverage is the Military Nation option>

That is a problem, not a solution. As the world moves to a less US centric world, military might becomes less and less meaningful. Are you going to bomb people to make them do business with you? They will tell us where to shove it. Cooperation and interaction are much more powerful weapons. The world's wealth is balancing out, it is a natural occurrence....energy, matter and money flow from high concentration, to low.

Quit fighting the last war, it is a classic mistake.

the only available option is the military choice
but a deadly choice which will lead to a world war
just like in the 1930's following the last depression

in our economic stupidity, we granted China Most Favored Nation status
now the Fed encourages more US debts and more Chinese jobs

I said a year ago that China would be a constant topic of discussion in 2004
it came early
now we paint them as our scapegoats
when the real problem is the high USDollar
it renders our entire economy as irrelevant
