>>China, currently is getting more high tech by the minute. Their economy is booming. But even more important. If the US can't win the war in iraq, how can they win the war in china.

>>We have to realise that there are no convential wars to fight. I'm sure the the nato can win the battle technically, but as shown in iraq it is hard to break them and protect themselve against terroristic attacks.

>Hi Walter. I agree with you (sorta :-)). The US/UK quickly defeated the Iraq military on the battlefield and with (much) more difficultly could do the same with China. As with Iraq, I believe that China could not be successfully occupied by the US.

Japan was never occupied... They were forced to surrender. As for defeating the germans, they were defeated by a number of nations (e.g. UK, Canada, US AND Red Army), of which the red army might have been the sole cause for losing the war. If Germany had not had to fight on two different fronts, the outcome could have been way different and I'd been speaking german right now.
