美‧國‧馬好搭檔（Revised on 0513）

【Comment】
Two scholars commented on the 2012 Presidential Election of Taiwan in the seminar “Taiwan and Evolving Cross Strait Relations” on May 9, 2011, which brought a warning signal to Taiwanese and DPP. 
Shelley Rigger, Brown Associate Professor of Political Science of Davidson College, said that she felt Ma Ying-jeou will win the campaign, and Nancy Bernkopf Tucker, Professor of History at Georgetown University and at the Edmund A. Walsh School of Foreign Service, confirmed that the US felt it easier to cooperate with KMT than with DPP.  
It is quite logical.  KMT has cooperated with the US since WWII.  In other words, KMT and its US ally have fought against Japan and later the communists side by side for over 70 years.  They shared tons of secrets besides tears and blood, and share “common values.”  Taiwanese, being the enemy to the UN and then having no role in the Cold War, has never been a partner of the US.  Who would trust Taiwanese?
The US administration might help MYJ by approving the sales of F-16 C/Ds to Taiwan if MYJ vows  to keep “US-friendly” attitude.  Why not?  After all, MYJ held and might still preserve the permanent residency of the US.  He is a “US citizen”.
The homework left for the US is to ensure that Ma’s “US-friendly” attitude is a solid policy, not his lip-service in the campaign.  (Revised on 0513)

美國人喜歡（放心）國民黨，這是台灣派要面對的苦澀事實。而且，這不是短期間民進黨可以改變的。國民黨與美國，有從二次大戰期間對日，與冷戰的對蘇對中。兩者所建立的革命情感，已經70年了。期間，台灣人在哪裡？是敵人，還是旁邊閃的被統治者？
馬英九佔此之便，以及綠卡之便等，成為美國首選。
美國支持馬的方法很簡單：宣布售台F-16 C/D就好。但馬必須歃血為盟脫離中國。
問題是：美國如何確認這不是馬為了勝選隨意允諾的選舉手段？特別是其近日已經傳出因為實施募兵制沒錢而要延宕軍購。
