AMNESTY [INT'L]: BEIJING MUST FACE UP TO TIANANMEN MASSACRE

"Does China deserve a 'most favored nation' status?"

China deserves 'axis of evil' status along with Russia and Saudia Arabia.

Read the other day the car bombings in Iraq are being done by nuts from Saudia Arabia. They are getting a pass. Bush needs to answer for this. They also got a pass on 9/11. Fifteen of the nineteen nuts were also Saudi citizens. Saudi oil money is financing terrorist actions everywhere. But Bush isn't going after them. Why, Mr. Bush!!!

You hit the nail on the head. They are a pure and simple pro-Demorat group with nothing but seething hatred for America and its freedom loving principles. They are a totally discredited organization. Comparing our actions at Gitmo to the millions that died in forced labor camps in the Siberian Soviet Gulag is sick, sick, sick. They make me vomit.

Despite his many shortcomings, he's still our President. It always bothers me whenever someone uses 'Mr' to refer to a President, especially a sitting President (yes, even Clinton). I do agree with you, however, that this utter failure to deal with the Saudis is a major problem which will haunt us for years to come. North Korea is another problem President Bush appears to be trying to buy time with until he can be done with his second term. After all, if all Hell doesn't break loose until after you're out of office, less people blame you for the failures leading up to the situation. I had little faith in this President after his support of the PATIOT ACT, and my opinion of him has gone steadily since that time. Between the failure with spending, to the failure to reduce the over-reaching Federal government control of education, to the continuation of welfare programs like Socialist Security and the expansion of Medicare, to the utter failure to control the southern border, to the outright pandering to illegal aliens, to the pandering to our enemies in China, Russia, and Saudi Arabia, to the failure to help protect American jobs, to the over-extension of the US military, to the failure to reign in the abuse of the US military with respect to hopeless NATO commitments, to the abuse of NASA for political purposes, to the expansion of Federal power at the expense of States' Constitutional rights, and on and on and on. All the while, he's had in his favor that he's been great in the WoT. Well, he seemed to be doing well, but the continued failure to address the underlying problems (Saudi Arabia, for one) has left us with little to look forward to. While we've been kicking around sand in Iraq, Russia, China, and North Korea have been conspiring to arm Iran with nuclear weapons and the means to deliver them. This, while the US hands out aid to Russia and gives 'Most favored' status to China for economic trade.

In other words, we're handing cash to people who are arming our enemies with nuclear weapons. Fantastic approach to foreign policy. I tend to wonder what happened with that whole 'you're either with us or you're against us' thing. Apparently, you can continue getting cash from the wallet of the American people while continuously stabbing them in the back. That appears to be ok, so long as you're big.
