I really do think we're going to throw Taiwan under the bus on this one. We're having to stop-loss and extend reservist's tours to ensure enough boots on the ground in the Middle East as it is. I do not see us having enough assets to open a second front to protect Taiwan and the Far East at this time. Unfortunate, but I don't see any way it can be done without harming our War on Terror effort.

See post #60
Defending Taiwan isn't going to really require any US ground troops at all. Just a fairly small portion of our already existing Navy and Air Force.
Dittoes. I've read through all the posts and smell a "seminar"--a little PR campaign. Hegemony for me and thee.
