I think the bottom line is that it is clear that our response to the democratic aspirations of people on the mainland or anywhere else when it comes to China are muted by real realpolitik considerations with regarding to China's influence…
For all its problems, Taiwan people like the democracy that they have, and they do not want to go backward.
They clearly want to influence the outcome of this election toward--they clearly want to set up a process that would elect someone that will do their bidding and will be compliant to the wishes of the Central Government in China.
I think the evidence is pretty clear that they were sent there by the Central Government, at least in my opinion.
There are players that, because they've used performance enhancing drugs, some instances involving cold medicine... they're suspended for more games than Mr. Rice was.

It seems from here to appear to be that Assad is undertaking a very deliberate strategy of trying to wipe out what we could call moderate forces.
Had more of the moderate groups... had they had these things--cash, ammo, food--in greater supplies... it would have been very hard for Nusra to gain recruits.
Had we been more forceful early on... do you think that it is possible that you would--that that space that was left there for ISIL may never have existed?
