ALLIES FOR SALE!:

To Save Our Economy, Ditch Taiwan (PAUL V. KANE, 11/11/11, NY Times)

There are dozens of initiatives President Obama could undertake to strengthen our economic security. Here is one: He should enter into closed-door negotiations with Chinese leaders to write off the $1.14 trillion of American debt currently held by China in exchange for a deal to end American military assistance and arms sales to Taiwan and terminate the current United States-Taiwan defense arrangement by 2015. 

Even by the standards of the editors of the Times, that sort of Realism is appalling. How about a Black Friday special and we let them attack Mongolia?
