Bomb North Korea

[Covenant]

Allowing China to expand and take over N. Korea's massive military.
And this helps who how?

Where you thinking China doesn't have enough malnourished children of there own with stunted growth ?

Not sure I understand what you are getting at? Jerry

IMHO China could stabilize N.K, I don't think they want anything other than a peaceful region and the opportunity to trade. Equally I don't think the USA fears China the way it did in the past and would prefer dealing with them.
This article suggests that the health of the average Chinese person is pretty good, certainly the government are doing what they can to provide universal health care:

No system is perfect Jeff. I wouldn't like to be poor and sick in your country. I think you should cut China some slack and think how far they have come in the last few years. There are millions now enjoying a fair standard of living and their expectations are increasing as well.

If you are truly sick in our country FREE health care in any Emergency room has been provided for years and years,in fact some hospitals and ER's where forced to close along the borders with Mexico because they where over whelmed with sick Illeagle aliens.

Expecting the U.S. to provide free health care for all who come here is just not possible. England is lucky to be an Island with out millions of poor daily coming in for free stuff, paid for by we the most hated " Americans".

As for China,Never trust a Communist they are evil to the core.

naa..nuke 'em from orbit.

Look, I'm not blind to what's going on; but I cannot authorise that kind of action. I'm sorry.

Jeff,
You are sadly misinformed about our illegal immigrants. Per head of the native population I suspect we may have a higher ratio in the UK than you do in the USA. Our government actually admits it has no idea how many we are hosting (and paying for).
As for China you cannot tar a whole nation with the same brush. I've worked in Singapore (which has a vast majority Chinese population) for a while some time ago and found many of them to be totally untrustable as far as keeping their word or meaning what they say but I also found a significant number who were as 'normal' as you or me in our relations with others. More than 30 years later I am happy to still call one of them a friend.
IMHO it has nothing to do with them being Communist, it has more to do with the way they are brought up in a very controlled society. The oldest male in the family is treated with utmost respect, far more than in our society, and their word is 'law' amongst the younger members of his family. Their village is similarly controlled by the local 'mayor' (but not as we understand 'mayor'), who in turn is similarly controlled by the local area 'head honcho' and so on up to the top man.
IMHO it is not valid to equate 'Communist' with 'evil' - is the USA population as brain washed into believing that as the Chinese were into believing all USA 'capitalist dogs' are the Devil incarnate?
Just my opinion - no offence intended.
