The United States may have had dubious reasons for the invasion of
Iraq, but I rather see a stable Middle East in the future that is
aligned with the US rather than a unfettered volatile region left
to its own devices.
For those who claim that China is peaceful, can you explain the
continual saber-rattling over the outmoded concept of "face" , that
prevents her from acknowledging [b]that the Taiwanese people have
nothing to do with the mainland politically since 1949.And under
legal auspices, it is ironically the US which has the last claim on
Taiwan as an island due to it being handed over by the Japanese to
the United States when the latter took control and introduced the
Provisional Government in Tokyo.During that time,China made no
claim to Taiwan because the y had no need to do so,as Taiwan was
but a mere island.
Therefore it is sheer audacity and arrogance that has led the PRC
to think they have a moral right to demand the reunification of an
island they abandoned 56 years ago.[/b]
This is the most outrageous understanding of the modern history
of china and taiwan, ignorant of the fact and twisted to justify
american hawkist ambition in asia. No chinese, from mainland china,
taiwan or overseas, and any historian true to factual history would
acknowledge.
It is this kind of ill intended propaganda that will lead the world
to war!!
