Thirdly, I know for fact America payed for those people, from both American and English service men who were over there and the fact it has been on the news in England and in the Guardian newspapers

Firstly, by law I'm an adult.
Secondly, Afghanistan has always had a lot of Pakistani citizens going inbetween the two countries for work. (Hence why they're setting up a Pakistan/Afghan bus route). So it's not overly hard to explain.

Also, I didn't say they were all innocent but if soem are guilty why have they not been put on trial? If they did that, and got them convicted it would give a good reason to let Guan stay open. Would it not?
"fighting for the Taliban or Al-Qaeda" fighting so well, that they didn't get killed? Oh come on, if these are Die-Hard Muslim Terrorists, they'd fight to the death. They'd not let themselves get captured. Now would they?

Also devilwasp why don't you stop giving me all this Abu Gharib BS. That was a small group of U.S. soldiers we don't treat all of our prisoners like that, so don't use what happened in Iraq as our policy, because its not.

Recent simulations show that China can take the Island in 6 day's, which suggests the war will be brief... very scary but ultimately not so devastating... China wants to keep Taiwans infrastructure and economy intact so the fighting will probably be confined to the coast and millitary installations.

Id like to see china have air superiority over the F-14's and F-18's. And Id like to see china attempt an invasion with US subs in the are. It will be a turkey shoot.
That is of course if the U.S. commits itself, if we don't its a different story.

Two US Subs can do plenty of damage to a PLAAF task force. If a Seawolf is in the area even more so. I doubt there are only two, but two is still a crediable force. The PLAAF has a long way to go with ASW.
Also I doubt Taiwan is going to let thier diesel subs sit at port. Yes, i realize they are far from state of the art, but still could sink a few ships.
Destroy an entire PLAAF task force? No, But maybe able to render it a ineffective force for sure.
