"In China, Bush Urges Religious Freedom"
BEIJING (AP) - President Bush was greeted in China with good news about trade and is making a point about religious freedom in this communist nation by attending church services before meeting top leaders.

Bush hoped to send a visible message about human rights across this land of 1.3 billion people by worshipping on Sunday at the Gangwashi Church, one of five officially recognized Protestant churches in Beijing. The State Department cited China this month as one of eight countries of "particular concern" for denying religious freedom.

The White House urged China's state-controlled media not to censor news of Bush's visit.

In a day of talks, the president was expected to prod Chinese leaders about currency system changes, human rights and the piracy of American movies, computer programs and other copyright material.

5. If China stopped by to BOSS US AROUND we would be insulted.
What an asshole. All Bush does is scold, scold, scold. Us, them, Congress, Iraqis, Afghanis, the Military, hurricane victims, Gold Star Moms, his Dad's cohorts, the CIA (!), the Chinese, Latin America...he's got a bitch for all occasions (so versatile!). We should make him Prezzydent or something so he can "fix" everybody.

Oh, wait.

Nevermind.
