Nation: A large body of people united by common descent, history, culture, or language, inhabiting a particular country or territory. Throughout history there have been many nations with a wide variety of culture, characteristics, and forms of government. In recent history, most nations have been governed by monarchy ( royalty ), socialism, Marxism, or communism. The other form in recent history is democracy, a representative form called a republic. Our United States democracy has proved to be more successful and enduring than any previous government.

The United States of America was formed out of necessity in order to gain independence from an overbearing monarchy which was attempting to rule from across the ocean. The Founding Fathers were unquestionably brilliant and, I believe, inspired by God to set up a new form of government which allowed the people of the country to rule themselves through elected representatives. The Constitution and the Bill of Rights laid out the rules for this new leadership.

I ask you to consider the success or failure of other governments, their longevity, level of freedom for the citizens, and quality of life.

Why, I want to know, is China (a communist country) being favored with the opportunity to host the Olympic Games which will bring them millions of dollars in revenue and much worldwide good will. They have done , to the rest of the world, the equivalent of dropping bio-weapons into every country in the world, killing millions of innocent people. If they had dropped explosive ordinance killing millions in countries around the world, I ask you, what would have been the response? I’m not looking to start another World War but neither do I expect to see the Chinese Government ( NOT the Chinese people ) go unpunished. I have no political or military expertise on how to deal with this situation but I do believe the perpetrators of this horrendous act need to be punished.

I believe the nation of China ,intentionally, released upon the entire world a pandemic, which has caused untold suffering and death in every corner of the world. I personally believe this equates to a biological attack which has, thus far, killed millions of people worldwide and caused incredible economic damage to all affected countries.

If this had been a military attack, it would not only have been condemned, but would have been responded to by more than just verbal condemnation and some economic sanctions (by those who are even willing to believe China is actually guilty). I believe the U.S. and our allies would have been justified in taking out the entire governing body of China.

I would never want to start a nuclear war but surely with todays technological we could find a way to surgically destroy their government without open war. And i have no desire to make the general population of China suffer more than they are already suffering under Communist rule. I do not have a plan to bring justice to China’s ruling party, but can we really allow such an atrocity to go unpunished?

Afterthoughts: China and North Korea have now claimed to have supersonic missiles . This could entirely change the face of the threat of conflict. With nuclear weapons in the hands of countries with leadership without morals ( or sanity ), I fear it might take a small spark to ignite a conflict that could lead to the end of the world as we know it.
