Not really. Your mom is over quite enough to make my fears mute.

Being alone. You're a mod, you should be used to that.

Do you really know how many products come from China?
Our economy would tank, public moral would be destroyed.
You CAN NOT win a war without popular support.[/quote] Now you're implying that the war was started without support from the people (It could be like WWII, where they had the entire nation behind them). Most of the products coming from China are low quality and the higher quality products come from out sourcing labor and giving factories over there the know-how on how to make these items (the iphone). You're failing to see my point, that they don't have the technology to produce a navy or an air force even capable of countering the US, and that is implying they get these factories up and running without the , already established, air superiority of the US showing its might.
My god man, read some history!
WWI started with the most popular support seen in ages- look how that worked out- a few years in and people were begging to end it.
WWII started with mild popular support and ended with people again, miffed as all hell.
Look at this current 'war' for another example.
Mate, once you destroy their infrastructure, you are going to have a hell of a time fighting Guerrillas without starving their entire population which would be considered unacceptable to western civilisations.
Going back to public support, simple fact is America cannot take another long war that WILL have massive casualties. There would be a draft- and there would be civil unrest.
Edit: Let me reiterate that while I think it is possible, in the end- the damage done to the US would be so large that we would have essentially shot ourselves in the gut and are just going to bleed out. You're honestly sitting there saying that there were quite a few people that opposed the war during WWII? I'm not debating that people had low morale at the end.
Why couldn't we have another long war? You do know that more people have committed suicide within our military than died over the entire Iraq War (including the war on terror). I take it you are referring to our economy, I'm not too great here but from what I see, the moment the US steps in with China, all debt will be cancelled (I understand that wouldn't help out during the war though). From what I can see, the US could just run a single bombing raid on China (implying that China did something that was deserving of an invasion) and just pull back to the US and say ," All debt is void, good job china". That would be a nice troll by the US.
