I think we should get our own house in order and not worry quite so much about the rest of the world. To the best of my knowledge there is no one right now that is a direct threat to the US. We should spend a reasonable amount keeping our military up to date but we should but out of other folks business and try to make a few friends in the world.

By the USA attacking China with no provocation then they will be viewed as EVIL too.
The USA has been in Taiwan defending it for years already.
China has the capacity to attack and capture Taiwan already but is starting a world war to get a small piece of turf worth it?
All things come to those who wait.

China has no desire in attack, that will be their biggest mistake, they are strong and growing stronger by the minute, they are subsidizing The USA, with more of a trillion dollars in there coffer, they can sink USA by selling the dollars, but that will be against their economic growing, eventually Taiwan will join China, and will treated like Hong Kong, a autonomous entity, there is a growing desire in Taiwan to do just that, the sleeping Dragon is no more, it has waken up. They have the largest army in the world, but it is to protect the government that is Communist just in name, not in principles, there are more millioners now than most countries in the word, their doctrine now is that to be rich is good and proper, against all Communist principles, the are conquering the world with their productivity and from hunger in the world for cheap products, they need the world as consumers, not to be conquered by arms, but economical, they already started to buy into many countries, they have a Strong presences in Africa, and that is just the beginning.......eventually the will be the super power in the world and will not share it with Russia or any other country, they don´t have to.....

Oh dear which right wing newspaper did you read? Don't you know China follows a non first strike policy i.e. it will never be the first one to use nuclear weapons, it will use them only in response to another country launching them in an act of aggression. Will China risk an all out war just to capture Taiwan? Unlikely, the people on both sides of the Taiwan strait wish for eventual unification. As for the US, will it risk an all out war just to prevent Taiwan being captured? Unlikely, since there's no oil there. Will it make up an excuse to launch a nuclear attack if unification occurs peacefully? Probably.

They may be evil, have WMDs, and possibly support terrorists (who send lead painted toys to poor American children) - but they don't have one key thing to justify Bush attacking them - OIL.
