Arms control experts called the test, in which a Chinese missile destroyed an aging Chinese weather satellite, a troubling development that could foreshadow either an anti-satellite arms race or, alternatively, a diplomatic push by China to force the Bush administration into negotiations on a weapons ban.

This takes all bets off of the table in a war with China. Thanks Bill for giving China the super computer to make this possible.

Yes it looks like peaceful co-existence, barring any *Bedford Incidents (1965).

Either we get along here or we will in the hereafter...

*It's a must see movie for anyone who lived through or is studying that tense segment of history known as the Cold War. Starring Richard Widmark as a determined and iron willed Captain and Sidney Poitier as a journalist assigned to the ship to report on a "normal" cruise, which turns out to be the very opposite. Richard Widmark plays a paranoid Navy captain playing cat and mouse with a Russian sub in the icy waters of the North Atlantic. Better than "Fail Safe" (1964).
