The rule seems to be "dont get too close to the vehicle" However, this seems to me how you lose a war while occupying territory. Warning. Civilians in vehicles being shot. Contractors shoot'em up with civilians as targets Far more effective is winning hearts and minds with mutual benificial trade. In fact, the probable outcome is undeclaration of war and reduction of troop levels and military presence due to lack of war. China should win that one, hands down, while hardly blinking. We must remember womens rights though -s-

Funny article, it's premise is that China is using the ameriKKKan approach in enabling trade w/neighbors. I don't believe any mention of China taking over Afghanistan is discussed during trade talks. But if pulled off correctly the opportunities are ripe for all those that live in that neighborhood, last seen on my globe the usa is nowhere near. I would also venture a guess that both China/Russia have seen the incompetence of the usa and neither want to engage in such adventure. BWTFDIK -g-

Hmmmm, more to think about. and here state propaganda told us USSR wanted to take over Afgahnistan I was just realizing that if Russia now extends economic and industrial development to Afghanistan, especially water projects to increase agriculture, it will be doing exactly what the Soviets were doing just before we armed the jihad against them. I read about the Soviet water projects in Afghanistan in National Geographic just before we started the war. In other words, if Russia begins aiding Afghanistan with agricultural and economic development, we are RIGHT BACK WHERE WE STARTED FROM.
