Since you included Iran, China and Pakistan in the list, it will all go down after my children's children's are dead, so I don't care.

Thats for me personally as I bask in the glory that is shore duty. I happily pat all the graduating butterbar nukes students who trickle out of here ever two weeks on the back as they go to figure out what sea time is.
In other words, its their turn"The DPRK is still in a state of war with the U.S. It's called a black out." - Che explaining why orbital nightime pictures of NK show few lights. Seriously.

So China builds a lot of carriers, which freaks India out.
So India builds a lot of carriers, which freaks Pakistan out.

So Iran builds a lot of carriers, which freaks Sunni Arab states out.
So the Sunnis start building a lot of carriers, which freaks Israel out

Well, do you think the US is the only one who should be able to project their power to the other side of the globe?Learn to overcome the crass demands of flesh and bone, for they warp the matrix through which we perceive the world. Extend your awareness outward, beyond the self of body, to embrace the self of group and the self of humanity. The goals of the group and the greater race are transcendant, and to embrace them is to acheive enlightenment.

I doubt we will see much more than Russia, China, and India increasing their carrier fleets. Pakistan will come to rely on a Chinese umbrella. They have already allowed the Chinese to build a deep water port capable of supporting Chinese Carrers (should there ever be such a thing).
Iran and on down the list do not have the financial and/or logistical ability to keep a modern carrier going. Projecting force ain't cheap."I am sick and tired of people who say that if you debate and you disagree with this administration somehow you're not patriotic. We should stand up and say we are Americans and we have a right to debate and disagree with any administration." - Hillary Clinton, 2003

Not that both of them aren't way too militaristic for my blood.

Indeed, I see a new Cold War, but I actually think Russia and China might team up together against the U.S. It seems these two countries are dead set on ending the long reign of world influence the U.S. has had. Can we perhaps blame the Iraq war? Has it shown that our military is really very weak, so Russia and China hear oppurtunity knocking? I hope I'm wrong.EViiiiiiL!!! - Mermaid Man
