:-D Well, here are my little thoughts on Taiwan.

Taiwan has functioned as an independent nation since 1949. Whether Taiwan becomes an independent nation should be up to her people.

Communist China wants to "swallow up" little Taiwan for political and spiritual reasons. Who ever is in charge at the time PRC brings "Taiwan back into the Motherland" will be regarded as the One who did it in Communist parthenon.

The reason why I believe the Communist MUST take over Taiwan--besides the usual ones that Taiwan is like an aircraft carrier stationed off the mainland, etc. etc.--is that Taiwan is the only large body (Hong Kong is swallowed up, Singapore isn't exactly Chinese, the other "Oversea Chinese" are scattered to the four winds) of ethically Chinese people in the world who are free. So long as Taiwan and her people are free and democratic, they are a dangereous precedent and example to all the yearning masses and compatriots on the mainland ("why are the Taiwanese able to critize their leaders and not us?"). So long as Taiwan is free, Nazi/Communist China's existance is threatened. And rightly so. That's is why Taiwan must be "re-united with the Motherland."

I am for a free Taiwan. Pray that Bush is honorable enough to stick to his words on defending Taiwan when the Communist overlords make their move.
