Bosco Thank you for the information and your point of view on the situation. I know that it is a ever changing thing and that the US would love a peaceful and happy end to this problem butI don't see it happening. At least not with out someone given in to a demand. Whether it be China, Taiwan, or even the US. But it will be a huge problem for everyone's economy if a war did break out. However I think there is more people that will be pulling for Taiwan then there will be for China. Now I don't base this on any sort of political reasoning or economical. Just that with China's track record on the human rights and other things. It will be tough for people and countries to back China. At least not with out the government feeling some kind of back lash. Thanx.

Bosco- Thought you might like this fascinating historical account (IMO). Daniel Boorstein, in his popular history "The Discoverers" makes some of the same points. As an enticement, here's a lead paragraph: <<For most of the last several thousand years, it would have seemed far likelier that Chinese or Indians, not Europeans, would dominate the world by the year 2000, and that America and Australia would be settled by Chinese rather than by the inhabitants of a backward island called Britain. The reversal of fortunes of East and West strikes me as the biggest news story of the millennium, and one of its most unexpected as well.>> nytimes.com You may have to register with the NY Times to get this, but it is free.
