What do you think?
Why is it OK for the U.S. to sell nuke technology to China and in the same breath we tell other countries like Iran they are not "worthy" of such technology????
When did China become a Democracy?

Because it has always been about money. And it will remain this way.

Talk about government and business working hand and glove! Oh, and it will benefit all of us because supposedly a deal by Westinghouse and China to build 31 nuclear reactors will lower the US trade deficit! I can think of some other ways, such as the time honored practice of imposing tariffs, and a campaign to "buy American". But I'm sure Cheney has nothing more than America's national interest at heart as he helps to proliferate nuclear technology and uranium enrichment to a country which may not really be our friend, Communist China.
Why is this different than Iran? China is not perceived as a threat to our ally, Israel, and China's government is based on atheism and Marxism, while Iran's is based on Islam. And as we all know, the Muslims want to take over the world, the friendly Chinese merely want to sell cheap blue jeans to Walmart.

Because none of our foreign policy or trade policy is about what is best for Americans it is about what is best for business. Hence we boycott Cuba for being communists and we have most favored trade status with China and Viet Nam who are communists. Go figure. This is why I usually assume that whatever flows from the mouths of our government officials bears little or no resemblance to the truth.

Cheney is an IDIOT. China is NOT a democracy. China will nail us one day in war. They will invade us. They hate everything we stand for.
Why did Clinton allow China to park several of their ships FILLED with weapons off the coast of Florida? You are aware they are still there right? fully loaded and sitting right at us.
Oh further, it should be said that Mr Clinton GAVE some of our islands off the coast of Alaska to Russia. Russia also will nail us in nuclear war. They will be the first to invade us on the East Coast. China will invade us on the west Coast.
This country has been sleeping......distracted by everything from McDonalds to Paris Hilton instead of understanding truly what is going on. We are in deep doo doo here in this nation. With our troops all over the world, we are sitting ducks and the big enemies know this.
Get yourselves prepared guys. If we get another idiot President in there you can kiss any REAL freedom you have goodbye.

thanks for taking notice and asking this question. providing a source with a link is powerful on here. china is a communist country, we borrow billions from them now. we need to put our relationship with this country under a spot light and start holding government accountable, republicans and democrats alike. if they didn't do it, then your responsible for letting it happen. that's how they need to be treated. although when you watch this video you have to wonder how we fit into the loop as these reactors are already near completion. watch this......
