And may I add, the neocons, new left, and old left libs isolate whomever they will:
Iraq, Iran, Cuba, North Korea, and lest we forget, Russia at the moment as they have expanded NATO over their objections, put missiles in their backyard, etc., but of course, after they updated the Russian infrastructure and military with an enormous influx of Western money, a highly risky (did I say “risky?” I meant “stupid”) relationship between their military and ours, their former KGB (FSB, or whatever the latest) and our FBI, letting them see how we do things, handing over to them stealth technology, look down Radar (now our B-52s can’t go in there low level undetected anymore if they had to), etc.
But China, China has 60,000 students in our country grabbing all our technology, and “free” trade laws that tilt the balance of trade unfairly in their favor, to build the new grave threat to peace and security in the 21st Century.
Note also that the Bush Administration has blocked sales of new F-15’s and other desperately needed military hardware to Taiwan in anticipation of the Olympic games under the same excuse, the fear to offend.
And here I thought Bush believed that either you are for us or against us, and if you are against us, you’re part of the evil axis ... and we’ll hunt you down like dogs.
Amazingly China and Russia weren’t on his list of “evil,” even though they’ve been selling weapons to those evildoers.
Those claiming to be conservatives, when their own words tell us they are something totally different, is rather alarming, and should make most Americans recoil.
