Did you know that while our boys fly training missions at night, near China, china shoots lasers at them to blind them because our pilots are wearing night vision goggles? Has any one heard this on the news? How is that not an act of war? What's the differance  between shooting a bullet and taking away someones sight and shooting a laser and taking away his sight? If a bullet were fired it would be an act of war, right? I realize we are already at war with someone but why dont we defend our selves? If I punch you and prepare to do it again, aren't you going to try to stop me?

Not if I'm the Bush Administration, apparrently.

Look at the several Acts of War by the Mexican government against the U.S. over the last decade.  Our Southern border has been crossed by armed and uniformed Mexican military on more than one occasion, yet we do nothing.  China hacks into Pentagon servers, steals our military technology, etc. and our response is nil.  Still, perhaps better than the Clinton response which was to GIVE China our military technology.

How are the acts of the New York Times, in printing classified secrets not deemed treason?  Even the actions and words of many Congressmen & Senators would (in a sane world) be considered treason.  The Bush response is nil.
