If we truly advocate the principles we stand for, liberty, freedom, etc. we will let this decision be up to the Tiawanese themselves. The island has been functioning as a soverign, independent government for some time now. It is not that big of a leap to be indepednent of China proper, regardless of any "terretorial claims" China may or may not have. The US should be supporting Tiawan on this issue, not red China. Normally I support the foreign policy of the US, but this is just hypocritical to promote freedom and yet to tell Tiawan they cannot have it.
