I don't get people about this "American militarism" crap, America isn't trying to conquer the world, you have to control the areas of the world that are essential to keep your country safe. It is not like the U.S. could isolate itself and then everything would be all tooty-fruity; if the U.S. did that, it would waken its military power, and then the Soviet Union or a new Chinese Union would arise or what not.

The U.S. doesn't tax the world or anything; the U.S. has to have military forces all over so that NO ONE ELSE tries to control the world. Yeah, other countries don't like that, but oh well, that's just how it is. There is no other way. All that stuff about "pleasing other countries" B.S. the only way you could please any of them is to weaken yourself to their current states, which the U.S. won't do right now.

As for China, they drove over their own people with tanks, so who can blame the Taiwanese for wanting to break away?? The U.S. hasn't done anything like that; also, Cuba was a legitimate threat. So the U.S. wanted those weapons removed. Taiwan is a threat to China if it has weapons, but China is a dictatorship country that wants to conquer Taiwan. The U.S. was not some dictatorship nation that wanted to conquer Cuba; they just didn't want Cuba posing as any threat, especially for the Soviet Union at the time.

Also, I don't know if Taiwan will end up back with China, because I don't think the U.S. wants to let China have a "base" in the Southeast Asian area right now; the U.S. doesn't want China to establish any significant naval presence. So who knows.
