We must not fund those who seek to attack us.

Why should they attack us when we're their best customer?

Why should they attack us when we're their best customer?

Becasue they're Communists and thus they seek world domination. They seek to rule the world, every bit as much as the Soviets did. That's why they have nuclear warheads pointed at us right now.

Why should they attack us when we're their best customer?

Why shouldn't they attack, once they've liberated so much of our wealth through bad politics and lop-sided trade agreements, and they dominate us simply by being the most wealthy nation on the planet? WHO'S TO STOP THEM? Us, with our monumental debt? Or them, with incredible surplus?

Say your prayers, kids.

im sure that's exactly what clinton was thinking when he gave away our nuclear secrets.

[supercat]

Why should they attack us when we're their best customer?

Why shouldn't they attack us if and when we cease to be their best customer?

Unless that's never going to happen, giving them the means to attack us seems like a bad idea.

What a pantload. Almost every war in history has begun between formerly peaceful trading partners. Protectionism rarely has anything to do it. Ideology fuels wars, not protectionism.
