Our mutual enemies possess advanced military technology, and undoubtedly they would rely on this technology in any possible future wars...

They must be talking about France and Germany....!!!! :-)
The obvious next step... And the likely alternative future for Iraq, if Saddam Hussein had not been deposed.
Iraq and Saddam Hussein would've become untouchable if he had developed relations with China. We already know they were talking... and imagine where world terror would be right now if a mad man like Saddam was still in control of Iraq, with billions of dollars in oil money, protected the Chinese shield, and actively using surrogates (terrorists) to attack the U.S. in Afghanistan, the Israelis, Europe, and here in America.
I think China has accelerated their relations with Iran to try and prevent Iran's mullahs from falling from power. I have a suspicion that in 2 years time we'll be looking at an unofficial Cold War with China, and a civil war in Iran with the U.S. funding the pro-Democracy rebels, and China funding the current regime. That's assuming the rebels ever rise up. Otherwise we'll just have an unofficial Cold War with China and a deadlock with Iran.
You're either with us or with the terrorists.
This cannot be good.
Aren't you glad our government takes 5 Billion dollars a month of our tax dollars and gives it to this communist country to use against us under MFN.
China was starting to help out Saddam Hussein too. We have to go to war with Iran. If we are serious about the war on terror it continues on with Iran. Syria will also be a threat but not to the level Iran is now and Israel can always kick Syria's arse. We need to take Iran out and warn China that it will not be tolerated. Start to punish China with trade. And arm Taiwan with nukes now.
