White House warns China on Taiwan - Pot Meet Kettle

[NewJeffCT]

Umm, did we not use the threat of force, and then actual force against Saddam? Is the White House saying Bush was uncivilized for threatening the use of force against Saddam?


"We reject those portions of the statement that threaten the use of force to resolve differences between Beijing and Taipei," a senior Bush administration official said.

"Threats to use force have no place in civilized international discourse, and Beijing merely hurts its own case by using them," the official added.

So much for the notion that we lead by example.

4. Little Georgie from a country two hundred years old is lecturing a country

over five thousand years old on how to behave in the world. Does that strike any as a bit Arrogant?
