Quit Bashing China!
We see a China that is stable and prosperous -- a nation
that respects the peace of its neighbors and works to secure the freedom of its own people. -G.W. Bush http://www.whitehouse.gov/news/relea...031022-12.html ------------ Let's have no more talk of China building offensive missiles, aircraft and ships. And let's certainly not make any claims of internal repression there. There is nothing to worry about. Bob McKellar |

Conversations with political leaders I've had convince me that they must have to have their tongues repaired regularly from having to bite them. I'm glad I don't have to worry about repercussions from MY saying something. |

Most people only bash the Republican Party who are not morons like the Democrats, but rather idiots. Since the last time China worked to secure the freedom of it's people was sometime before they passed a law about family size. -G.W.

Since the people who can run sucessful buisness' are leaving the U.S. faster than the Republicans can kick them out. Bob McKellar |

Bob McKellar Gee, Bob, you must have missed the preceeding passage (context is everything...): "Today, America and Australia are working with Japan, the Philippines, Thailand, Indonesia, and Singapore, and other nations to expand trade and to fight terror, to keep the peace -- the peace in the Taiwan Straits." Taken together with your quote, it looks like what he was expressing was the vision of the China we (and the other folks who live in the region) want to see, not what is necessarily there now. I don't find that vision unreasonable--do you? Brooks |

It is anti dictator in the one continual nation that has seen more political (empirical) takeovers than any other survivmg nation in existence today. Mao Zedong wanted to ally with the USA but President Eisenhower refused to hold an audience. Josef Stalin saw Mao. That's be a good trick, considering that the People's Liberation Army had been actively engaged in combat with the U.S. and U.N. forces for two years before Eisenhower became President. There really is nothing to worry about unless Korea does go balistic. The U.S. itself has very little to worry about if the DPRK does Pull a Cagney (Top O' the World, Ma!). The ROK and Japan would certainly get mussed up, and the Chinese and Russians have the Great Bad Luck of being downwind. (Into every life some fallout must rain) My bet is that if the DPRK goes ape, Japan and the Republic of Korea will be licking their wounds for a few decades - and the DPRK will end up being inhabited by rats & roaches. The only extra is whether they plow salt into the fields, much as happened to Carthage. -- Pete Stickney A strong conviction that something must be done is the parent of many bad measures. -- Daniel Webster |

I suspect Loney was thinking of Nguyen Sinh Cung aka Nguyen That Thanh aka Ho Chi Minh. Of course, he also has the wrong president (Uncle Ho is widely reported as having appealed to the Truman administration for aid after declaring the Democratic Republic of Vietnam in 1945. Little did he know he'd already been sold down the river at the Potsdam talks.). -Marc -- Marc Reeve actual email address after removal of 4s & spaces is c4m4r4a4m4a4n a4t c4r4u4z4i4o d4o4t c4o4m |

Which gives lie to the old maxim that "The good die young" (or at least in my father's view, after spending much of '42 thru '45 exposed to the often nauseating peculations of her family and cronies) TMO |

Bush http://www.whitehouse.gov/news/relea...031022-12.html ------------ Let's have no more talk of China building offensive missiles, aircraft and ships. The context of this quote is important. Bush's speechwriters were smart enough to separate China from discussion about Japan and the largely democratic, free marketeering Asian Tigers and use language that is more visionary than descriptive. He's not saying China is not repressive or a potential strategic adversary, but that China can choose to be and most likely will in the end. Rev Prez |
