we pour tons of bucks into the middle east, in the mean time "the yellow peril" is trying to start a trans continental rail road across south america. Can they do it? Don't bet against them, they built a large part of the american rail road system. This makes me wonder how that communism wont work thing is going. It is rumored that the chinese also are thinking about a deal to build another canal across nicarugua. Somehow we need to figure out how to get those folks involved in a few endless wars,that will slow them down.
