IO will say this right now, that is a stupid question, a very stupid question, and you can not honestly expect anyone to take the "want to nuke China" question seriously. Ummm... see post #49.

Wow...post 49...
Talk about someone taking a tongue-in-cheek comment too seriously. I do hope you didn't take that seriously.

Let me guess, you will use that quote in your little anti Paleo-Con quote list, in a game of gotya that high schoolers resort to. As for Tariffs, ye sthey will work, and higher level of trade resitictions will force China to float the Yuan like it forced the Japanese to float the Yen in the 80s when the Reagan admin was sucesssful in getting the dollar knocked doan against the Yen by more than 50%.
The neo-cons who hero worship Reagan forget that the currency agreements that the US had with other industrialised nations that devalued the Dollar 50% against the Yen and 35% against the Mark were de-facto tariffs, and the dollar devaluation helped give US industry time to recove untill Rubin put the strong dollar policy back in place in late 94.

Sometimes I wonder if you actually have a degree from the "Close Cover Before Striking Institute of Home Study". You asked an idiotic question and I gave you a smart-a$$ answer. Surely you knew that, but continue to point to that post as some sort of "proof" of God knows what.
You post little more than one-line posts that either demand answers to your questions or are an insult, but can't seem to form a rational, reasoned argument for whatever misguided opinion you might have.
Do yourself a favor and don't waste your money on graduate school.
