Back Off America
Just who the hell does America think they are? Heard on the radio was some comment about how a US Whitehouse spokesperson had complained that US officials were not given access to some Chinese dissidents, specifically in regards to the upcoming Tiananmen Square anniversary.
While I’m sympathetic to the sacrifice and loss of life that happened during that incident, I’m stunned by the US’ arrogance. Explain to me what business it is of the US’s to get involved in this? This coming from a nation that refuses to grant any rights to existing detainees in Guantanamo Bay. Would the US allow Chinese officials in to talk with them? Would they have allowed Russian representatives to enter during the height of the Cold War to investigate civil rights abuses on Black Americans?
The fight for human rights and universal suffrage in China is admirable but I seriously hope that those pro-democracy Chinese don’t happily sells themselves out to the US.
What I find funny is why China doesn’t take a page out of the US’s book? Open up your dirty laundry to the world and let the public criticize it in the world media. After a month, people don’t usually give a shit anymore and you can go on about your business of surpression. If that idiot Bush can do it, so can you.
