How strong are the Taiwanese forces to repel a Chinese assault? Do they have a decent air force? Is there a militia of Taiwanese people who could defend the beaches and fight on the land?


Lets say that they are strong enough to hold off the initial Chines invasion and would allow the US to deployed a large land army. The question is will the American public have the stomach for tens of thousands of combat deaths. The way that a good number of Americans are reacting to a low intensity war in Iraq says No to me. IMHO, if it were not for President Bush strength & leadership are enemies most likely would have launch a major war against the US or forced our government to surrender. They KNOW President Bush would fight them tooth & nail so perhaps they are biding their time. However, the lack of resolve being shown by a many Americans regarding Iraq, May embolden China, Russia, Iran, N Korea. etc. to launch military operations. We as a nation are in DEEP Trouble
