Can you name any responsible people in any position of power who supports your position?

People in Bush's own administration for example.

People from Bush1's administration, for example.

But the silly argument from authority is weak and beside the point.

I sense you are circling the wagons.

This is a massive blunder on the part of President Bush and I hope it does not hurt his ability to fight the war.

Also he needs to correct or address this mistake.

Who? Who supports recognition of Taiwan? This is just not true. I understand your point of "argument from authority", but anyone who wants to recognize Taiwan, short of very provocative Chinese aggression somewhere, just doesn't understand the Chinese. This is right up there with bombing Mecca. Just not a good idea.

Would love to see him be more aggressive in support of Taiwan even covertly. Other than covertly, I don't expect to see it.
