Chen can remain in office until his term ends in 2008, or he could resign now in order to let his vice president and pro-independence Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) rebuild to win the next election. Whatever his decision, Taiwan’s first DPP president will go down in history as a pathetic failure, because he used his office to divide the island’s citizens, as if his domestic political opponents were Taiwan’s mortal enemies.
陈水扁可以一直呆到2008年他的任期结束，也可以现在就辞职以便他的副总统和他赞成独立的民进党重建以赢得下一次选举。不管他作出什么样的决定，台湾第一位民进党的总统必将留下一段遭受可怜地失败的历史，因为他利用他的职位来分化岛内的人民，好像他国内的政治对手是台湾不共戴天的敌人。
