The 110th Congress should:

  • drop Washington’s implicit defense guarantee to Taiwan but permit defense contractors to sell Taipei any weapons it deems necessary for its defense (without government subsidies and loan guarantees)

Communism in China is a threat to the freedom of the people of Taiwan, but the U.S. government seems more intent on building up the Communist government than in protecting liberty. A "Second Amendment" approach is an ethical toxin; even if Taiwan could be armed sufficiently to defeat China, she would be forever poisoned by the violence. But at least this approach recognizes the evil of Communism in China.
