you can get specs of the Titan 2 either in The US War Machine (written in 78, but very good book, and I believe they have made an updated edition, though I have not read it) or at GlobalSecurity.org. then go to weapon systems of WMD I read about china's in either popular science or popular mechanics, I don't remember, but I'll check and get back to you tomorrow.

gook- Used as a disparaging term for a person of East Asian birth or descent. If you didn't know that was the definition,. now you do. It's offensive, it's racist, and it is not meant to be used in polite company.

thanks to bush we have a missle sheild as a last defence 1. You do not yet have a missile shield2. While the missile shield might provide some defence, the proposed mid-flight defence strategy can be easily and cheapily overcome with easy-to-produce counter-measures (see the November issue of Scientific American for details). If there is to be a war, china would attack us, and that is not going to happen. If they do, we whoop their buts, so they lose either way. America is far more likely to attack China than China is to attack America; China has had more than a few occasions in which America has taken actions which would form a clear-cut "act of war" justification for an attack (launching multiple missiles at the embassy and flying warplanes through their airspace to name two).

"Gook" is a name for comi enemy soliders, and not for villigers who have no choice.
I know you're young, JF, but you really should have a listen to "Kill for Peace" by the Fugs - 1968 or so:"The only gook an American can trust Is a gook who's had his yellow head crushed. Kill, kill, kill for peace!" It's called satire. But it's damn scary how much Iraq in 2004 recalls it.....

quote: Actually I understand that Arabs count for only a third of Muslims, with east asians comprising the bulk. Simon Hoggart, the Guardians parliamentary sketch writer, mentioned this joke the other day: Two men from the same small egyptian village came to America together, and arrived in Texas. They agreed to bet to see which of them could become the most American, to be decieded when they met again in a year. At the reunion, the first expounded: "Well, I got up this mornin', mowed the lawn, took my kids to little leage game in the afternoon, then invited the neighbours over for a barbeque. We ate ribs and 'dawgs, threw back a couple a' long necked buds and watched the sun go down. How about you, pardner?" The other says "Fuck off, towelhead."
