Thank you!!! True anti-Communists are few and far in between on this thread!
No problem...I see China as the real enemy in the War on Terror. Their client-states--North Korea, Iran and Syria--are ramping up the stakes. We're playing right into their hands. If we abandon Iraq before taking out Syria and Iran (with whatever means necessary) then Europe is doomed, and we're next. Why do you think that Japan is rearming? Exploring the nuclear option for defense and creating a defense ministry, these are the first two steps Japan is taking to defend itself and the Pacific rim, in case we fail.
