Running away

I see where both Bush and our Gov Arnie are taking trips to Asia this week. I wonder if they are taking these trips to run away from their problems at home with Arnie losing the special election and Bush's popularity shrinking these trips might be necessary for them.

Well, these are apparently more than vacations. The governor is trying to drum up trade with China, which could help California's economy. I'm sure he feels he must do something after losing all his ballot iniatives.

Bush is calling upon China to become a democracy. He mentions the success of Japan, South Korea, and even Taiwan (that took some balls). Good for him!

We are obligated to defend Taiwan if China attacks not sure if you are aware of that. Did you see the roster of who Arnie brought with him to China (in today's LA Times) he isn't doing this for CA he is doing the trip for his business buddies.

I'm not sure what you mean by "obligated". My balls comment referred to the fact that China considers Taiwan as part of their empire and it took gumption for Bush to tell China that they should follow their lead.

Last I checked China does "own" Taiwan when the British gave them to him. What I mean is if China attacks Taiwan we must defend them
