Alternate title:
"Bush Doctrine Ends With a Whimper"
The Bush "doctrine" has always been that Taiwan is part of China and that neither country should act recklessly. Right now, it is Chen and the DPP who are doing so.
That's been our *official* position for years...doesn't mean we aren't cheering behind the scenes.
Well, I'm sure some gov't officials support the ChiComs but I'll bet some have the balls to at least quietly support Taiwan.
