    look up 'cavity wall' which has been pretty much standard in europe since the sixties; and since the eighties they where standard equiped with insulation aterial between them. I expect by 2020 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Passive_house to be the building standard in most of europe.

    A war would be two armies, fighting on relatively equal ground (within an order of magnitude of each other, at least). And it would be destructive as *hell* (there's almost no way a real war now would not go nuclear), and would end only with the near-complete destruction of one side's forces and economy. That's what the US military is designed for, and what a war with China would be.

    area of iraq : 438,317 km2

    area of china : 9,640,821 km2 (about 20 times as much)

    populations : 31 million and 1300 million. (about 40 times)

    and china also has nukes.

    I hope you're not really contemplating attacking China ?
