Haim, >>>>>.. many miss the point that Taiwan was and is not China they were and should remain an independent state.<<<< I dont recall when the name was changed, but Taiwan's official name previously was the REPUBLIC of CHINA, and now is called the REPUBLIC of TAIWAN. I remember when I lived in TAIWAN how the students my age were complaining how bad TRUMAN was for stopping Macarther plan to invade China. And that was back only in the late 70's. Also I would watch the many Kuomintang affairs with their strong preachings of how they will take back the mainland. Also, when I was living there for almost 2 years, it was still under martial law. Now it is different since the KMT is just a fraction of what it use to be, but in the not so long ago past they did believe in the fight to recover the mainland. An issue that the mainland has against Taiwan is the Chinese wealth that they claim was stolen by Chiang and the infamous Soong sisters. If Taiwan no longer considers themselves China, then why not return those Chinese treasures, and hopefully that would ease some of the tensions.

Haim, With all do respect, I can't imagine a pilot of any nation, let alone a fighter pilot probably moving at 3 times the speed of the EP-3 purposefully crashing his plane into another. This was likely an accident that was likely caused by aggressive tactics. There had been plenty of reports that Chinese fighters routinely flew intercept missions against American aircraft flying around that area and that American pilots had warned the Chinese that they were flying too close. There is virtually no reason I can come up with, aside from the EP-3 in Chinese airspace, that accounts for the fighter be run into by the American plane. To my knowlege the likely speed differential of the two planes make it a physical impossibility.(unless the fighters were escorting the EP-3?) This posturing by the chinese govt is nothing more than them trying to extract an ounce of flesh from Bush. As far as I'm concerned we ought to use this as incentive to sell arms to Taiwan and dig in on this. IMO that's exactly what we're going to do. As long as we get our guys back I don't think it's going to matter one way or the other. Let them rip the plane apart, it's not like they don't have the technology to build this stuff, and I don't really understand the technology flap. I'm a scientist, I've met plenty of chinese scientists, I don't think we're looking at a significant compromise. If it was that valuable why were we risking it off the coast of China? This whole thing is a mountain out of a mole hill and this is what governments do when the pie is getting smaller. Besides, Nemer says we gotta trade 3B shares on the NAZ in a day, before we hit a real bottom and I'm a firm believer in the BCT,, so let the crisis begin. V
