Just exactly how long has Taiwan been a "thriving democracy"? Do you know? More than 20 years? Fewer than 20 years? Come on, take a guess. During the majority of the time that we have supported Taiwan, have they been a democracy or a dictatorship?

Is the PRC still communist (other than just in name - you know, kinda like how we pretend that the USA is a constitutional federation)? Does the PRC have elections? Have you been to China recently (or ever) to witness for yourself the kind of country it is?

Then there's the Palestinians. They have a democratically elected government. Accordingly, I'm sure you must approve of Hamas, "democracy" seemingly being your one and only criteria for approval.

Then there's Iraq. Woohoo - giving those savages a say in how they are ruled sure worked out well, didn't it?

The world is not quite as simple as you make it out.
