conflict. There may be shades of gray of exactly how and when China pushes further with Taiwan, but the continued push and with some movement over at least somebody's "line in the sand" is going to happen. The question is really all about what is seen as the proper response by the U.S. and/or the rest of the world. We are not sitting and "doing nothing" right now, but the question becomes how far are we going to go and at what "trigger" point. China and the U.S. are going to have to coexist peacefully in this world -- along with a number of other countries with whom we have major areas of concern and likely always will. I hope we can get there.
