"Why kill your best customers.

In June 1941 Nazi Germany's largest trading partner was the Soviet Union.

Good observation.

It's always better to take then to trade in the mind of a thief.

More than 80 percent of the 6,000 factories in Wal-Mart's worldwide database of suppliers are in China. Wal-Mart estimates it spent $15 billion on Chinese-made products last year, accounting for nearly one-eighth of all Chinese exports to the United States. If the company that Sam Walton built with his "Made in America" ad campaign were itself a separate nation, it would rank as China's fifth-largest export market, ahead of Germany and Britain.

"Wal Mart did not "start it."

I agree. It is stupid to trade with one of the most corrupt countries in the world.

China’s Business motto is to stab each other in the back; their corruption is why the country hasn't progressed. It is just a matter of when the time is right for China to take action.

The question should be:
Who has been lobbying congress to trade with China?

"The Muslims today remind me of the Indian Alliances a few hundred years ago."

I can't agree with you on this. The muslim ethos is savage and primitive enough, but it's assisted by well established networks and considerable technical skill. They have studied us carefully in order to use our morality, our legal and social structures against us.

The Ruskies and the Chicoms are discovering that they'll fair no better. I don't hold out much hope that they'll realize our shared threat, but there is a chance.

The terrorist operatives have been thoroughly indoctrinated--I would say in many cases utterly brainwashed. Those prayers sessions --with their bowing to Mecca and all --aren't prayers, they are mass hypnosis.

The communists are greedy, hence predictable. They, like everyone else, want more. The risk of somebody winding up with less keeps them reasonably cautious and us wary. The muslims, on the other hand, have convinced themselves that they want nothing. They are merely vectors of some Imam's carefully nurtured rage. I don't think we've encountered this mix of savagery, technological sophistication and ideological orthodoxy before now.

That is a good point. Remember when we allowed the Cherokee to create a western civilization?
We didn’t like that one bit and set them west on the trail of tears.

The difference is we not only allow the Muslims to what we have we are encouraging it.
In other words the Muslims are a much more powerful enemy then the Indians were. I agree with you but they are still being used the same way as the Indians were. They are still savages just more sophisticated then the Indian savages.

The Ruskies and the Chicoms are using the Muslims for their bidding. Or attempting to very much like what we did in Afghanistan after Jimmy Carter screwed up the region.
