Re: China and Taiwan
Bill Clinton said something very wise, something like, "America can't fix everything, but we can fix some things. America can't fight all the battles, but we can fight some battles."
What he was saying that there will be times when America will get involved, and times when it will not. It will not be based solely upon principle, but also upon our interests, the cost, the possibility of success, ect.
Now reflect that philosophy back upon yourselves. There are times when I'm sure most of you have lent a helping hand to a friend, neighbor, or even a strange. But we all know that there are hundreds of people near us who need helping hands. We just don't have the capacity to do it all as individuals. But, we can do some.
Per that approach, the USA doesn't have to accept responsibility for all the injustice in the world, but we can fix a few things.
