    They (China) have between 300-400 nuclear weapons.

    I don't remember this time when people said Iraq had "enuff nuke to wipe the world 9 times over".

    Your last point is interesting, are you suggesting that American forces would wipe the floor with similar ease in a war against China?

    if im wrong about the 9 times over thing
    then why did people always talk about WMD?

    my last point was about
    all the hype about the WMD then when the disarm of Saddam started
    no sort of WMD was used

    like i said hear say

    never said it would be easy to take china over

    China. It has the manpower. Couple that with technology and not too much westernisation and there will be no stopping them. Plus the fact Biggles will do anything (Anything ) for cheaper Duck with plums sauce.

    Iraq was accused of trying to develop nuclear weapons - at no point did even people like Powell or Rumsfeld say they had nuclear weapons.


    It is disturbing that such information could be so confused in the mind of the general public.

    Being the next power has less to do with weapons and more to do with economics, which is why China is doing well in the poll + the duck in plum sauce thing Trying to equate world dominance with numbers of missiles is pointless. Russia has thousands of such weapons but this does does not translate into economic leverage.

    And that is the crux of the matter.
