So basically, those who took the time to learn what was actually in the bill tended to oppose it, while those who just went "financial reform? Sure!" thought it was a great idea. Kinda exactly as I stated in my post earlier.[/qiote]
You think only politically active conservatives bothered to look at it? You're cute. Stupid, but cute.

Those who were paying that much attention didn't have a problem with the filibuster because they largely shared the same concerns about the contents of the bill.

Making things up doesn't really count as a point. Of course, you believe that only active conservatives looked at the bill so... I dunno.

Hahahaha... no. Just no.

Look, if you're just going to make shit up wholesale, there's not much point in continuing.

We just really need more of everything to make a sea invasion a sure thing, especially if any other countries threw in with china.

Now in an invasion scenario, China doesn't have sufficeint transportation capability to land the bulk of their military on our shores, and we don't have enough to try invading them on their own turf. In either scenario, things would litterally go nuclear almost immidiatly.

Though, China has managed to antagonize nearly all of their neighbours in one way or the other. The only potential allies in the region are Pakistan, Iran and North Korea. Getting Iran and Pakistan involved would only be to keep India from moving on China, and China would need Pakistani involvement to make Iran a worthwhile ally.

I also think China must know that in the event of a successful invasion of Taiwan, most nations in the region will begin to mobilize its militaries. As well, there would be a very real possiblity of Japan remilitarizing and in such a case, arming themselves with nuclear weapons.

While I'm sure that Japan couldnt win a conflict of China, I wouldnt put it past radical Japanese Nationalists to spark a nuclear war.

War can make strange bedfellows. Its not always based on the now. Heck before WWII no one trusted nor like the USSR that much. They all were very hateful towards the way country was being run. But man oh man did they ever like having those millions of soldiers holding that eastern front alone. No one batted an eye when they lost nearly 50% of total allied COW, but we sure as hell didn't trust them enough to let them in on the Manhattan project, and we sure hated them enough to go right back to name calling and finger pointing in less than 5 years after the war.

Thing is War i a totally different animal than economic repression or ethnics or anything like that. War says **** is going to change and what side d I want to be on. IMO the biggest ally China has in War against the US (and likely Nato) is those countries that hate the USA. Heck they might even get Russia on board and say ******* you can have eastern Europe.
