>>>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.

>>Though I would have stacked the odds against the US (and west) at successfully occupying Germany and Japan. Both were done stunningly well.

>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.
What's wrong with German? Oh, I now know. It are all those naamvallen. How do they call that in German and English? :)

Constructive frustration is the breeding ground of genius.
If there’s no willingness to moderate for the sake of good debate, then I have no willingness to debate at all.
