China

The local news channel survey asked if we think of China as an ally, enemy or not sure. Most people polled enemy.

Well yes, they are a communist nation and have nuclear weapons.

But here's the part I don't get...they hold our national debt and make all of the products sold in this country; just pick up anything and turn it over and read the little sticker pasted to the bottom of it. We have a huge trade agreement with China. China holds our huge debt, if they default, we go under. You know that trillion dollar debt Bush has us in; well, we borrow money from China to pay for it. Anyway that is my understanding and Japan is the other country we are indebted to. In other words we need each other.

Like the Arabs who have us over a barrel, we are in cahoots with China. We are in deep, like it or not the die has been casted.

So, most people answering the poll said "enemy", I'll say "ally" or perhaps "partners in crime". Whatever, but we can't deny that we now live in on a flat world depending on global economy. We are all working together and I feel that evidentually this will bring world peace or the destruction of civilization as we know it.
