1. But Communist China has "Most Favored Nation Status"

Edited on Mon Mar-26-07 04:50 AM by ShortnFiery

Funny how things change: It's now OK to be a Commie but not an Arab nor a Persian. :shrug:

But let's not forget, Dear Leader now loves "The Sunnis" because of his buds in Saudi Arabia. Now it's the Shiites who are deemed "The Unclean."

Mark your score cards accordingly:

Shiites = Double Plus Evil
Sunnis = Good
Iran = Triple Plus Evil

Communist Red China = Double Plus Good
Communist Vietnam = Good

2. "If this were a dictatorship, it'd be a heck of a lot easier, just so long as I'm the dictator"

Bush & Co. admire the Chinese, IMHO. They have the semblance of Capitalism and "Freedom" (in places like Hong Kong for instance), but in reality the only people with real pull are in "The Party", the Military, or are corporate bigwigs.
