Honor Among Thieves
From the AP:
President Bush said Sunday he does not feel the need to boycott the opening ceremonies of the Beijing Olympics to state his opposition to China's human rights record. Skipping the event would be an "affront" to the Chinese people, he said.Is it a big surprise that the Torture President, under whose regime Chinese-inspired methods were applied in Soviet-style prison camps, won't snub his fellow human rights violators for fear of offending them? I suppose you could think of it as a sort of honor among thieves. At least he knows who his friends are.
This on the heals of kowtowing to the Saudis and begging for oil.
How come none of the leaders and peoples of these other countries ever worry about offending Americans?
