Before stating wether you think we should still be in Iraq please think about this: Is it considered freedom if one nation forces another nation to be under the same government just because we believe that it is right? Does this justify inforcement of democracy in other countries? If we obolish different cultures it will obolish the very thing that makes us human- diversity. I'm not saying I agree or disagree with anything, I do believe in human rights especially womens rights. I just would like to get other opinions- elaborate.

So, medic, even by your own charts, China is still our biggest trading partner outside of NAFTA. How does that support your argument again?

Actually, China accounts only for 9.9% - Mexico is at 11%, and then Canada is at a good old 19.7%. I was saying some companies are pulling away from China and investing in other countries. And also that China is loosing its popularity, considering that there in 3rd place out of the US's top 15 importers. It was number 1 at one point in time..... |

Again, as I said, China is our biggest trading partner outside of NAFTA. Coupled with the fact that Chinese exports to the US have grown by 1600% since 1990 (and American exports to China have grown by 415%), it doesn't seem as though China is exactly a minor player in our international trade. |
