"Money or Bombs"

The latest in a seemingly endless string of brilliant and insightful posts, Scott Adams presents his "Money or Bombs" theory:

"I don’t know how many nukes the United States has pointed toward China, but one would be too many. China isn’t going to attack its biggest customer. And in the unlikely event that some other country attacks China, we’d offer military assistance in a heartbeat. There’s too much money at stake on both sides."

I wonder why China and most of the rest of the world didn't jump in when we attacked Iraq? Because it was stupid idea?
