John,

>Oh, only 1.1 billion. That is a 1994 figure so they are probably over 1.5 by now. Anyway, MOST of the communists in the world happen to be Chinese.

Actually the 2003 estimates were about 1.3 billion. China has a birth policy where a couple can get only one child (unless they get a twin). So chinas population actually is going to decrease in the near future.

Within a few years India will have the largest population in the world.

>>I take, "your kind" means non american ?? You should go into politics....

>That was a joke Walter. Actually our military is much more advanced than most others so the number of ground troops isn't as important.

Mine was a joke too :). Your military might be advanced, but not immune. See the trouble you've got already in one country.

Walter,
