serious, though, when i made this claim, i hadnt really looked into the news. but now i looked it carefully, i made a different conclusion there will likely be no war. why? to what end? none will benefit from this war. especially, when china is in a state which cannot afford going a war. doing so will give Japan, Taiwan, Philipine a chance to claim many disputed terrotories. this matter is best resolved peacefully well, this is only my assumtion towards the MOST possible situtation i see fit. |

I still think Grey Mage is right, doing so would result a military action, which is no good to both countries |

I think almost every country in the world wants to avoid a war
as the econamie is going well and everything looks fine And if we look at the last 2 worldwars they were caused by internal problem the countries (Russia and Austria-Hungaria in one and Germany in 2) Now China is getting a world power America is in a Economical boom aswell Europe has enough trouble with the serbs and the smaller nationalities Africa isn't capible of havink a worldwar Austalia can be a problem (just kidding) So a World war is not in the comming An luckely that is ------------------ |

Well, I wasn't up here yesterday or I would have been on here in support of Gray
Mage, John D Harris, Dracona's husband and Ziroc. As far as spying goes, the facts are that EVERYONE DOES IT! EVERYONE!!! EVERYONE DOES IT TO EACH OTHER!!! And I not sure that this can be classified as spying. More as intelligence gathering. Again, something everyone DOES!!! The facts are that the US was in international waters. The USSR regularily flew up and down both of our coast several times a day during the cold war (they probably still do). We never tried to knock one of their planes down though we did escort them with our fighters. We are told in our news that the Chinese pilot was flying to close to our plane and that they collided accidently. I accept that. Our plane called out a mayday. According to international law, a plane that declares an emergency has THE RIGHT TO LAND AT ANY AIRFIELD IT CAN GET TO. The closest one was in CHINA. Hence they landed there. Now I expect that China should send our airmen back. I don't expect we should get our plane back. We wouldn't give it back, until we had totally dismantled it and put it back together. I expect nothing more from them or anyone else. Someone brought up the the Soviet pilot that defected with his jet to Japan. I thank we did return that plane to the Soviets after we studied for a few months. The pilot asked for asylum which we gave him. So far I don't think any of our people asked for asylum. So why keep them. China has spy satilletes trained on the US now. They may even be reading this e-mail. I'm sure that both the Canadian and British Governemnts are. They pass this information back to the US, since by law the US cannot spy directly on its on citizens). As for us being everyones policeman. WE RATHER NOT DO IT!!! DO I WANT TO GO TO THE BALKENS! HELL NO! But I will if my country asks me too, though I see nothing that it does for us (I'm in the Army Reserve and I was in the Gulf War, done that once). The US people would just as soon not go if we don't have too. Rwanda was a tragic event, and we helped out a with planes and materials. It's hard for even a super power to move troops half way around the world. We have no bases there. Look how long it took us to build up to the Gulf War. That's about has fast as we can do it. That's also why we kept troops in Europe during the Cold War. We still maintain troops for that reason in Korea. Israel has always been our ally, and we always support our allies. The Arab countries have not always been our allies. Most, if not all supported terrorism, which we will never support. We want to see a PEACEFUL solution to the Middleeast Crisis. We don't understand why this is a problem. After all we have worked together with our old enemies (Germany, and Japan and the Former USSR). Why can't the Israelis and the Palestianians (sp) set down and work something out? I know this was rambling, but being late to the topic, I had a lot to get of my chest. By the way, I don't consider Bush Stupid or a moran. Bill Clinton (whom everyone outside of the US thinks is great, said the other day that Bush was a very cagy politican. And I also don't think there will be a war because of this. I have to go wash my cars now. But I'll be back so look for any responses. CYA! ------------------ Sir Taliesin Ten Rings there are, and nine gold torcs on the battlechiefs of old... |
