cigarettes are quite simply a lethal drug, the USA exports them knowing that they will kill people.\n\nChina should stop the imports, but then the USA would impose trade sanctions (super 301)\n\nTo summarize, the USA forces this, knowing it will kill people, and only benefit tobacco corporations. sound familiar?

abdulqadeer48 - pull your head out of ... the sand.\n\nOf course China has nukes pointed at US soil. Any country with that many nukes (the US included) has nuclear weapons ready to launch in an instant in case of attack. Whether they will actually push the button or not is the only question. As one answerer earlier stated, they are not ready ... yet.\n\nOf course the US will continue to support Israel. It is the oldest democracy in the Middle East with a culture very similar to the US. In fact, many US citizens choose to make Israel their home.\n\nSo, Yes and Yes.

Bush has said the US will defend Taiwan.  The problem is, there are so many Chinese in mainland China ... they would overwhelm us in a conventional war.

Subjigating China, threatining Australia and it's Pacific satellities and eventually attacking the United States at Pearl Harbor in an attempt to beat down the United States Navy/Air Force to the point where we wouldn't be able to stop them from conquering all the islands in the Pacific. If we had surrendered or lost, they probably would've conquered Hawaii as well.

Absolutely agree, I think they want to see Americans dead, and have been responsible for many deaths of Americans, albeit covertly. The US should do what it must when attacked by a foreign nation, to declare war.

The middle east's revenge on us for blasting their countries.

that they were going to bomb china

I would set roadside bombs and kill everybody Americans and Iraqi's. What is the sense in that, Iraqi's are killing themselves more than we are killing them.

I would assume we would go after whomever attacked us!\nIt's funny...\nEveryone backed Bush after the attacks.  Now that it's been a long while, everyone wants to point fingers.\nDid we all forget the thousands of people who were crushed, burned, and leapt to their deaths?\nI personally have not...

That's a scary thought. I don't fear china, but it would be prudent to treat them with as much respect as possible. I believe it would be very costly in lives.

Japan Invaded Shanghai, which was formerly held by the int'l concession (USA and UK) and the french concession. Japan used Chinese citizens as tests for biochemical activities, and at one time planned to bild a zepplin with gas to poison target californian cities. Oh, and Japan had a mutual war pact with the nazis. Other than pearl harbor and the previous reasons stated..., I see no reason to be alarmed.

It becomes a genocide when it happens to THEM... If an American dies it's a huge crime, but if my country is bombed and thousands of innocent people get killed, than it is an "act of democracy". When a child next door was killed when NATO bomb fell near our building, I was a horrified witness of "American concern for human rights"... Oh, please leave us to our own tyrants, we don't need your bloody mercy! And how the hell do your soldiers defend America in MY country when we are thousands of miles away from US, and we do not and can not put you people in any danger?\nAmericans should take a deep breath and deeply think about the fact that half of the world was celebrating on the 11th of September... I didn't, and I feel deeply sorry for every victim of that attack, but in the light of what your troops are doing all over the planet - you have certainly had it coming... And it hurts, doesn't it? But, 11th of September was an act of terrorism, while American killings are "peace actions"- oh, for Good's sake wake up!

This is the desperate act of a scared little dictator that has witnessed the power of the United States.  I imagine he is afraid that when we are finished with Iraq that he might be next.  The sad thing is that his people are suffering.  Japan is an ally so we will protect them.  I am not so worried about a weapon reaching the United States homeland as I am one of our allies.  That would drag us into a war.\n\nThis is one of those times that I think if we sent a stealth Delta Force in and assasinated him, nobody would care.  Consider what outcome we might have had had we done this to Saddam.\n\nTo answer your question, I think this is all to get attention in order to get sanctions lifted.  If you dont give me this, I will do that.  I do not think he will launch.  Additionally, I dont think he has thought this trough.  I bet he only has one or two missles.  If he lanches one, how can he defend his nation against the power of the United States with one (or a few) long range missle and expect to live.  His nation is one we could destroy with cruise missles from a control center in Florida.  The question should be, "What will China do if the U. S. responds to a missle  test launch from N. Korea?"

It'll be a chain reaction, Iran nukes Israel, Israel has time to fire off retaliatory strike, US jumps in to protect Israel, N. Korea seizes the opportunity to invade the south while the US is busy and stretched thin, so too does the People's Chinese Army takes over Taiwan, In order to stop Korea with limited manpower, US uses tactical nukes, in response China lofts to continental US targets, automatic triggers in US Strategic Command send nukes toward China....can you live thru all this....hmmm, maybe if you join stnglove in his deep silo.

He coordinated an attack on the USA that had casualties.
