Why does the U.S. care whether Taiwan is part of China or not? Isn't it about time for us to stop playing these kinds of games defending other countries? Yeah, Chinese are commies, but they ain't gonna come to our doorstep. The Cold War is over.

It goes back to WWII and maybe futher, we had Marines and Navy there from around 1900!

But the Taiwan thing is after "The Flying Tigers" or "AVG" (The American Volunteer Group) had finished helping Ch'aing Kai Sheck [sic] fight the Jap's, he/they were confronted by Mao and the commies. They managed to retreat to Taiwan and we swore that we would always be there!!

Are you saying that America should turn Her back on a friend?

I hope not, we are what we say we are, unless we're lying!!

I say stand tall for Taiwan!!
