Yes. There is a balance out there. No body wants to break that balance yet. Players are Pan Blue group, Pan Green group, innocent Taiwanese, US (hawk and pigeon), China government (hawk and pigeon) and some who did not emerge yet. ""There appears to be quite a bit of behind-the-scenes domestic as well as geopolitical diplomacy going on."" I believe your are talking about China's "refreshments" about Taiwanese are our brothers and China's internal affairs...... And US responded by sending 6 B-52 bombers to Quam or may be carriers to Japan etc. To me. Those things are "standard responses" from both ends to show off they are in control. Until the balance is broken. ""Some off-island diplomats must trying to work things out so that there will not be bloodshed on the street."" I think you are talking about China, US, Pan Blue and Pan Green. May be others as well. I do not beleive they (China and US) are really in play besides telling both sides (Pan Green and Pan Blue) to control themselves. If there is something that can not be resolved. Please let us know first because we are the boss. Pan Green and Pan Blue should not be the ones to mess up the balance. ""Perhaps the solution can be splitting the island, ala Cyprus style, except into three portions, so that all the people can have what they desire? The sometimes inevitable outcome of a immature mob-democracy without clear majority is independence by one majority from another majority."" Those people on the message board already discussed about the possibility. I think Taiwan has no chance to reach this assumption at all because "Taiwan issue" will be resolved before even reaching that stage. """The last time Taiwan was split this way by too-clever-by-half politicians and sheople country bumpkins back so many hundred years ago, the island returned to the warm embrace of the motherland :0)""" That possibility is very easy to be accomplished if US decides to sell Taiwan out to China for a fixed amount of CDMA contracts or another state like Alaska. (gg) US has to replace some strategic spots in the Pacific Ocean instead. Will US do it now? No way for now unless US is not the super power or pretends not to be a super power any more. Time will tell. The balance is there. No one is willing to break yet. That is why I think Taiwan is OK for now. Brian
