TAIPEI – A recent New York Times op-ed article by Paul Kane, a former international security fellow at the Harvard Kennedy School, has hit a raw nerve. Kane called on United States President Barack Obama to end military support for Taiwan in exchange for China forgiving the US$1.14 trillion of American debt it currently holds.
“With a single bold act, President Obama could correct the country’s course, help assure his re-election, and preserve our children’s future,” Kane baffled his readers.
As absurd the plea appears, and although the author has since declared his op-ed a satire, it seems the idea was not as fanciful as it seemed.

What an excellent idea … add to this the end of military adventures like Afghanistan and Iraq (and what ever is planned for 2012…) and the USA could make a real ‘clean new start’ ! (Probably they will end up in the same mess a few years later, but that will be another story)…
Hope concerned buyer will pay heed to your suggestion. Good luck who are on sale.
