<The fact that Powell says something does not mean it aligns with facts.> Yes, we all know that from watching him makes speeches about Iraq where he used all kinds of made up nonsense about us knowing that Iraq had WMDs. <Powell is the head diplomat of the US. That means his public statements will match the official US position.> Powell clarified our position -- no ifs, ands or buts. Taiwan is NOT independent and is not a sovereign nation. The sooner Taiwan stops pretending that this is uncertain the better for the US. If you want to take an anti-US position on this issue it is your right. I for one am on the side of the United States and our economic and security interests. You can take the side of a group that wants to live in lala land and roll the dice in provoking a meaningless war in which the death toll would shake the planet. Side with the lunatic fringe if you wish.
