Freedom is a nice but not available to everyone. Even in America,
there is no individual freedom to live when the judges want a person to
die - http://www.cnn.com/2005/LAW/03/26/schiavo/index.html. What right
do the judges have to solely decide whether a person lives or die when
a person has not commited any crime? This is something people outside
America cannot understand.

In any event, America's real enemy is not China, or even India. For at
least 3000 years, these 2 people had been traders, capitalists, and
politicians, but never serious military aggressors. Even if they are
to exceed America economically, i doubt they are interested in military
dominance beyond self-protection.

I'm no history expert, but can list some of the people that have been
aggressors in history.

1. Mongolians (Genghis)
2. Huns
3. Greeks (Alexander)
4. Vikings
5. Celts
6. British (India, Burma, South East Asia, Opium War)
7. Germans (WWII, WWI)
8. Japanese (WWII, Taiwan, Korea occupation, Boxer uprising, China)
9. Italians (WWII and Roman Empire)
10. USA (Boxer uprising, China)
11. France (Napolean)
12. Russia (Past Soviet states)
13. Many African nations
14. Thailand (Neighbouring states)
15. Burma (against Thailand)
