Do as I say, not as I wage an unnecessary war


In a gesture of patronizing and posturing, G. W. Bush made a phone call to China to urge President Hu Jintao to ease up on Tibet and try talking it out. The maverick president is giving advice about talking?! I am 100% in favor of a free Tibet and helping enable that, but is this the best course of action to take to ensure that this happens? I think many people around the world--especially those that actually have knowledge of world affairs would err on the side of caution and steer clear of any advice coming from a person who never takes advice, public opinion, or the greater interest into mind. President Hu, run! Run far away from this man and his ideas for talking. Have you ever really even heard him speak? It is another language--one I am quite sure does not translate that well.
