In a civilized society, should anyone or any government ever force anyone to do anything against his or her will as long as that person does not infringe upon the life, liberty, or property of another?

Next boogeyman, please step up

It's starting now. Yes, 2007. The war hawks (I mean cowards) are bringing the next boogeyman up to the stage. Guess who? Yes, China. The cowardly windbag Lou Dobbs is all bent out of shape because China refused to allow nine U.S. Navy ships to enter China's harbors. First of all, why are all these ships sailing all over the globe? Nothing's going on over there, yet the U.S. empire wants its presence everywhere. Bring those ships home to protect our borders just in case any nation gets crazy (but they won't). I'm tired of paying for a massive global navy.

Dobbs started off with "communist China." Not China, but "communist China." He wants to remind you that they're probably evil. You remember "communist Russia," don't you? Of course, he wouldn't say: "Democratic Ireland," or "Socialist Finland." And on the screen next to his face it read: Red Storm Rising. Just more propaganda. The communists are coming! The communists are coming!

Dobbs needs to sit at home and stop his fear machine. You're tired and stale Lou, go play some checkers. By the way, China's defense budget is approximately $64 billion, far less than our almost $600 billion. And they have four times as many people. Be careful what you wish for Lou, they can put an army on the ground the size of the U.S. population.
