Yes, we are not going to rescue Taiwan. There is already a Strong enough military force in S Korea (including Naval Warships, and a carrier) to take care of anything there.The Taliban is not strong enough to try to mount a serious come back, or attack. In Iraq if one side starts a civil war we would aid the other, (We are already there) and we get most of our oil from Saudi Arabia anyway. Plus the Saudis would cut China off from oil for invading Taiwan, so there would be plenty. Chavez would loose, and he knows it. As far as India and Pakistan, the Military would not need to get involved because they would both destroy each other. The good news would defiantly be that since there is no one in India, the Jobs would temporally come back to the US lowering the unemployment rate, and providing good jobs to Americans that want them, it would also create an overflow of Jobs in the US.

Hundreds of civilians dying every day... Iraq is now in the midst of a civil war. The Taliban is back in Afghanistan. As far as the oil, we would just have to "buck up" and accept the five dollar a gallon gas. Hey, the funds that have stock in oil companies and the individual shareholders will be happy. High oil costs mean record and near record profits. Some way or another, we'll find a way out. We could focus on Lindsay Lohan, Natalie Holloway and Presidential sex scandals. Things that really have a bearing on our lives. Oh wait, gotta go, there is a police car chasing a suspect on Fox news....

We could prbably stop North Korea, cause China would be too busy with Taiwan to help them and maybe bomb the hell out of some places to remind them that we are capable of anything, but once those nuclear weapons went off it would all be mute cause then we are just looking at the ned of all living things. I say this because if one contry releases they are all going to, and that there would be end game. Forget WW3, try WW to end all WW.

sure they could cope with the interest. that they had no situation coping with Saddam's nukes and his air defenses have been plenty extra durable than the Irainians. The Iranians are going to get bombed. Its purely a question of comprise we going to do the interest in the previous the Israelis or no longer. And If we wait till the Iranains get nukes the only selection will to be to apply nukes ourselves. this is the only way we be extremely particular they gained't get the prospect to apply them. I additionally desire to work out what the Euroweenies ought to assert whilst they're in variety of Iranian nuclear missles. they could help an pre-emptive strike on Iran as quickly as the bulls eye is painted on them.

we get only a tiny portion of our oil from chavez. that is not important. we still have special forces troops in afganastan. thats taken care of. in iraq all our troops would have to do is step out of the way and let the 2 sides destroy each other. we have forces in S korea, and they are constantly having attack drills. they are ready. if china attacks taiwan, we have plenty of nukes to use.

as someone once said, First we shoot the Lawyers, and then we go for the nukes. to answer your question, look up eminent domain. two things would happen immediately.
1. The US Gov't would institute a draft immediately
2. they would repossess all fuel reserves in the US, with the possible exception of food shipping.
