| #4 The Original Argument - The Federalists' Case for the Constitution, Adapted for the 21st Century. Chapter 3 - Paper No. 11 - How the Union Will Foster Commerce and a Navy by Alexander Hamilton. Al said, "The rights of neutrality will only be respected when they are defended by an adequate power. A nation, despicable by its weakness, forfeits even the privilege of being neutral." Many things have changed since the 1790's, but not human nature. |

| #2 I just started reading Glenn Beck's new book about the Federalist papers. The second paper, "translated" into current English, is about the value of sea power. Hamilton wrote it, I think. I'd go get it, to be sure, but it's upstairs.... |

| #1 Methinks its more correct to say China is LEARNING it - some things can only be learned Hands-on or by the "School of Hard Knocks". * ION CHINA DAILY FORUM > CHINA DEFENDS ITS SURVEILLANCE OF THE DAOYUS ISLANDS, vee Nippon. Beijing is repor planning to send more armed vessels to the disputed islands after latest incident, vee "Gunboat/Battleship Diplomacy". * TOPIX/WORLDNEWS > JAPANESE LEADER [PM Noda] WARNS AGZ CHINESE [+ DPRK] MILITARY BUILDUP. Japan regards the situation in NE Asia as increasingly tensive = "challenging", wid both Rising China + North Korea as its biggest MilPol concerns. Again, China wants sovereignty oer the Daoyus [Japan = Senkakus] + access rights to former vassal kingdom OKINAWA [Ryukyu Kingdom], NOT ONLY FOR TRADE + NATIONAL MODERNIZATION BUT ALSO TO PROTECT ITS DESIRED PLA BASES ON FUTURE POST-REUNIFICATION TAIWAN. |
