Let me get this straight. You think it is a good idea today for Taiwan to provoke a Chinese attack?

Or is the Bush Administration suggesting that we don't really want to start that war just yet?

That's the thing...

Besides, the ChiComs have a lot of problems of their own.

Taiwan will not be sold out by George W. Bush, but at the same time, should the PRC attack them, they will not be able to say we egged Taiwan on.

That last part is crucial, folks. It will make life easier for us when the PRC is at the Security Council complaining about the loss of a fair portion of their fleet.

Provoke a war with China? Why would a relatively small group of people stand up and fight against a tyrannical regime? Perhaps the Revolutionary War should be your guide. Buy yourself the Federalist Papers. They that can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety.
The United States is presented with a choice. One country has freedom of religion. The other engages in religious genocide. One country has free elections, open courts and humanitarian laws. The other country is a totalizing regime that engages in slavery, torture, and the exportation of international terrorism and weapons of mass destruction. Bush has cast his lot with totalitarianism and terrorism by supporting Communist China. At one point Bush proclaimed that the we had to make a choice between good and evil. Bush has now made his choice very clear.
