Time for some consistency
The zeal with which the media have taken sides with the freedom-seeking masses,
especially in North Africa and the Middle East, begs the question as to their
concerns about the good people of Taiwan.
Here in the US, we have our Senator John Kerry and the UN talking about military
intervention in Libya and yet, if China decided to invade Taiwan, they would
look the other way. Why is the support of a democracy constantly threatened by
the soon-to-be-most powerful nation on Earth any less important than the people
of Libya choosing to engage in an overthrow of tyranny?
Taiwanese have already paid their dues for their freedom and it is time for the
US and the rest of the free world to insist on a pledge from the UN to come to
their aid while they still have any collective military and economic advantage.
Every day, China grows increasingly able to turn the Taiwanese people into
slaves. That will be the darkest day in history.
