Does the name Saddam Hussein and even Osama Bin Laden ring a bell? They too were good western allies, being the enemies of anti-American countries (Iran and URSS respectively).



They were not allies. They were enemies of the enemy, who, by the way, were just as anti-American as the center of hostility towards the US. Taiwan is under a completely different category in that it corresponds with America's dislike of Chinese mainland policies and that our two nations are in friendly cooperation with eachother.
