Hi, Harrison 5,

I know Little Bush is playing with "both of us" +beijing and taipai+ for the purpose of US' national interest, and also, self-attainment or amusement.

But, gradually, he will learn the lesson, just like Bill Clinton did.

Want details from "naive" me? hmm... Let me tell you.

Clinton, coming into power in 1992, said China's leadership is "real dictatorship", which made many scholars here and there perplexed. How dare this man? Gradually, he learned the lesson. And in 1998, when he, his wife and daughter came to China, he totally changed his tone. He said China is a beautiful country (visiting Guilin), and promised the 3-no policy towards Taiwan (in a Shanghai studio). Because he changed his mindset, we chinese welcome him, his wife, and his daughter. Next time when he is in China, we still consider him a friend.

Little Bush, following the april 2001 aircraft collision incident, said america will do whatever to defend Taiwan. Now, to the end of his first term, he warned chen Shui-bian not to touch Beijing's red line, and must not change the stuatus quo (now a bian silenced). If little Bush is elected for a second term, he will realize it further, because he cannot, or he should not make enemy with 1.3 billion Chinese. Nobody dare to make enemy with 1.3 billion chinese.

We liked Clinton, even if he is no longer President;

We begin to like Little Bush, because he is changing his mind.
