Old fashioned wars are out of fashion. Nation building and immigration invasion wars are more in style.

It's not the oil, it's the dollar. Adding a currency based on something other than debt and crude oil price would protect us from foreign interests cutting off our economy. Ron Paul gets it.

China can blast our military satellites out of the sky with a laser. They're got much more potent weapons than Iraq.

Right...but that's the only way we could beat them!! If we ever want to take China down, we will actualy have to badger them into invading us. Unless, of course, we use a preemptive nuclear strike.:P

China can look at us right now and laugh at saber rattling. As they can say to us, "You want to invade? You and what army?"

THAT'S the legacy of "pre-emptive war" foreign policy.
