Why do we always have to have an enemy? Now its China, yesterday it was North Vietnam, Russia, Afghanistan, Lybia, Iraq, and Iran. How about spending our money on our own people for a refreshing change. I could care less if China has more weapons. It is all such a waste of human and economic potential! It is stupid, wasteful and is killing the planet. One way or another it will get us all killed. Just think outside the box and stop it!
