Human Rights Hypocrisy

[ldg420]

I think Bush should really get on chinas case about their human rights issues

I agree, and according to your article so does he.

Bush added, it was especially useful for him to go to China, because he could meet with Chinese President Hu Jintao! "And maybe I'm in a little different position. Others don't have a chance to visit with Hu Jintao, but I do."

In the article Bush then says.......

"And every time I meet with him I talk about religious freedom and the importance of China's society recognizing that if you're allowed to worship freely, it will benefit the society as a whole; that the Chinese government should not fear the idea of people praying to a god as they see fit. A whole society, a healthy society, a confident society is one that recognizes the value of religious freedom. I talk about Darfur and Iran and Burma. And so I am not the least bit shy of bringing up" human rights concerns.

So if bush is willing to look the other way regarding china why cant it with Cuba.

Because Cuba isn't a global superpower, they have a shitty economy where even if you do have the money too flee Cuba the government won't let you. And like I said before Cuba isn't hosting any form of Olympics other than trying to race to the Florida beaches hoping to gain political asylum.
I think it would be crazy for the president of the United States didn't go to the Olympics to support the men and women representing America, don't you?

Also, I am curious to know what steps the Canadian Prime Minister has taken to "get on China's case" :stoned:
