Goodbye Taiwan, hello Formosa.

Most informed response I've seen here.

Does Bush know what he has done?

Well his pappy construed himself to be a China expert having lived 2 years in the rarified atmosphere of Ambassador to China. What rubbish. He was about as ignorant of China as anyone I've observed on the world stage. It was shocking the things he said and did vis a vis China. I was aghast.

His son shows a bit more pluck but I'm not sure that goes very far in terms of China.

Sure I'd have liked to have seen Bush be tons more assertive regarding Taiwan. But really, Tallhappy, what would you have done that differently IF your goal was to get Iraq first?

I really think China is too powerful already to challenge very much--especially in their lap. I'd sure love to be wrong.

Does Bush know what he has done?
What a very loaded question.
An affirmative answer might imply one thing while a negative answer implies something alse all together.
I believe I'll pass giving an opinion/answer at this time.
That sounds too much like "No comment" doesn't it.
