Obviously, the Chinese present a huge potential threat to our security, and given their atrocious human rights record and their potential nuclear capability and stockpiles of WMDs, we had better do something now before its too late! I say we bomb the crap out of them and draft every male under age 35 and invade at once…. if we wait, it might be too late… you know… mushroom clouds over shopping malls and all.

And while we’re at it, send a division or two over to subdue N. Korea… it would be just a matter of time before those bastards got an itchy trigger finger on their nuke missiles.

And Syria? Don’t even get me started. Syria and Iran.
And don’t forget Libya. They all gotta go… Lets pull some divisions over from Iraq and take care of it.
How much trouble could that be?

This is that doctrine of preemptive force you seem to be embracing……all of the above is what logically follows, doesn’t it? Kill them before they have a chance to kill you? G. W. Bush staked his political career on it, you know. Can you see the contradictions and dangers of a free country adopting this aggresive way of conducting business?
