Just to clarify, Muhadeen=Mujahideen (for Linkalicious) Alkida=Al Qaeda (ragesremorse).And you (Linka.) said that the Mujahideen is "his" army after referring to Saddam, which is incorrect. The Mujahideen are just Islamic "resistance fighters" who have recently begun fighting in Iraq, and they aren't the forces of Saddam. They are most famously known as the force that opposed the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan. Just to clarify.
EDIT: Okay, while I was writing this, part of the misspelling thing was clarified already, so...yeah...
Please RE-read what I wrote originally
why do you think the Muhadeen (whatever his army was named) were more of a force than the organized Iraqi military?
YOU mis-read what I said. I said the Mujahideen provided MORE resistance than his army....not what you said.
I know what the Mujahideen is....spelling is another thing...
If America ever got into a war with China. there would be no winer, just mass destruction in both Asia, and America. If America ever got inot a war with China, it would become a world war, each country has to many peace treadies with other countries, if this war would happen many treadies would be broken.
China may not have the technology in military arsenol that America has, but they are not far behind. America has more weapons, but China has far more people, far more people willing to die for their country and way of life than America has. no one would win in a war like this. Depending on who started the war and why, America would ultimately be left alone to fight the war.

china does have the largest army in the world
And Korea has an army nearly 4x that of America. China still compacted into an area roughly the size of California....maybe California, Nevada, and Arizona.
In order to eliminate the US on their own soil. They would have to conquer huge military bases in California, Texas, and Florida....amongst others.
Rage...i said any ONE nation. Stop talking about the damn alliances for christ sakes.
And I've heard a lot about the Korean and Japanse airforce, but not too much about China's.
All i know is that throughout history, aside for THE bomb, airial combat has been the most advantageous source of power. US, would stomp on China's navy and airforce.
yes, am sure you right about the navy and airforce, but ragesremorse is right, u cannot say one nation because right now, if china and america went to war, there are a hell of a lot of countries with an axe to grind with america, and even the U.N., so im sure if the time came the other countries would give china all the resources they need, and assuming the americans landed on chinese soil, thats an awful big country, and if u remember a little place called vietnam, military might is meaningless in guerrilla warfare.
Well i just thought i would introduce some rationality to the hypothetical question. eigther way you look at it, if America was engaged in a war with China from their doings, America would lose.
If you just want to compare dick sizes, then America has the length but China has the width. Both countries are stubborn, America is impressionable and stubborn, China is one tracked and stubborn.
The air force of China is very sophisticated. Their technology isnt as advanced,but their abilities in skill are equall. China has money and lots of it. this is also somthing else that would be a large factor. I highly doubt that nuclear weapons would be introduced into a situation of JUST America and JUST China. Both sides are smart,honorable, and civilized. Neigther side would want a nuclear winter in their atmosphere,but if eigther one would use a Nuke the other side wouldnt hesitate and fire off everything they have. Again though, the first side to use a nuke would be virtually at war with the enitre world.
