Avon Lady, why don't you include your opinion along with your thread?
Anyway, I'll weigh in on China. In the land of China, the pacifists are beaten and executed. There is no Berkeley. There is no San Franscisco. There are no gay rights, and there's no debate over gays serving in the military or gays getting married. By California standards, a Chinese liberal would be a baby-killing warmonger.
So, they're blinding out sats. It is unfortunate for us, and I think it is highly likely that they will find out in the future it was to their misfortune, if they will sell this ability to Iran and North Korea. Firing a megawatt laser through the atmosphere and keeping a .0001 degree dispersion-arc isn't a small feat. Not to even begin figuring out how to continuously track a target well enough for the beam to perform it's function.
If there is truely any country that has the willpower to stand against the muslims, it's going to be China. But I honestly think that, once their economy and infrastructure advances to the level of America's, they will find they have to fight all the battles we're fighting -- if they want China to keep growing "larger".
If they sell this laser system, it's going to come back around to haunt them. Of that much I am certain.
Also, War is Deception. So Business is Deception. Which sounds about right for America. ;)
