Yes, but only a few hundred and probs most of them dont work and they wont be expecting it. I figure it'll be a cinch and if we make sure the winds in the right direction we take out Japan with the fallout.

Hmmmmm.... I'd prefer to see China and India attacking each other conventionally... with the US in the mix... 't's going to be tough... I guess we're going to have to find a peaceful solution instead

Let's do it before the Olympics

I cannot stand another Olympic saturated media ............ 24/7 until the closing ceremony.

What a relief

No Olympics
and, as China would retaliate immediately, no 24/7 saturation of the media before, during and after the proposed US Presidential election.

And for the rest of us ........ absolute bliss..................no China - no USA.

Peace in our time

So far this suggestion has received a more positive response than I expected.

But then who'd keep your economy afloat afterwards? Everyone'd be reduced to buying US-made goods. *yuck face*

can we wait until gordon brown takes his seat?

no, wait. he won't be there, will he? ...or will he? won't he? will he? will he turn up to shake some hands then leave before it starts? perhaps we should bomb at the beginning. no no, we should wait until the photocall, if he's going to be there at all it'll be for that, he's got form after all. no perhaps he'll compromise and pop in for a quick drink at half time, then leave and pretend he was never there...

darn it. how's a terrorist supposed to make any decent plans these days?

It's not like chinese quality is better than ours. We're bad but not quite that bad!

I would miss Japanese cars however. Without them the car market might devolve into chevette like absurditees.

What goes around - comes around

I can well remember the days before WWll when 'made in Japan' was tantamount to admitting that the goods were cheap and shoddy.

The advent of the Zero fighter plane was a wakeup call.

I buy American when I can. But it's hard to find and expensive when you do find it, though usually it's pretty good quality.

Sorry, when I suggested Japan for the fallout it never occured to me that Korea was closer and a more deserving recipient, 'pologies.

After careful thought I've decided that no, I don't want to blow up China.

The fact that it took 'careful thought' is what bothers me...
