Fund your own destruction China. Time to grow up!

A DECISION by President Bush to suspend £24 million of United States funding to a United Nations body accused of assisting forced abortions in China is threatening to cloud his visit to Beijing this month.

Good! This is my tax $$$. I do not want any of my money going to kill kids anywhere. Thank God for President Bush! He rocks.

No roses for this common sense decision

You are one crusty old broad.

Beijing is furious with Mr Bush, who has been swayed by reports implicating the UNFPA in abuses of the one-child policy. China's foreign ministry told The Telegraph that the US had not made the "correct choice".

Dear China:

(laughing at you)

The sound course of action would be to attack the Chi Coms now before they get to strong and take us out. As for the fact that they feel entitled to US taxpayer funds to help them kill more babies, they can collectively kiss my a@@. --MM

I'm wondering where the Chinese as well as feminist groups here think that they are entitled to our money to fund their perverse policies.

......and if people refuse to go along with this, they are 'anti-freedom'.

Let these leeches pound sand.

China says the US did not make "the correct choice." Iraq says the US is the terrorist. North Korea threatens to attack if we don't talk nice.

This is one of the more annoying elements of the clinton legacy.

After 8 years of feckless Mad incompetence and Strobie's thinly veiled treason, not to mention the cowardly Billyboy's pusillanimous caving in to tin-pot potentates, every third-world backwater sinkhole of a country thinks they can lecture the United States--and make it stick.

We didn't have a president, we had Rodney Dangerfield in the White house.

Probably not many, but I could name a few US Senators from certain coastal states...

Why Sink that is about the nicest thing you have ever said to me :>))

I'm glad Bush did this, the Chinese officials who are angry are idiots because they are angry over not receiving handouts; but the journalist who wrote this is a dog because he failed to give any hint as to the numbers of people killed due to this policy. There have been 50-60 million girl babies put to death because of this policy. That doesn't count the number of children not born due to this policy. Nobody has a handle on how many forced abortions & sterilizations. These things I've mentioned are well established facts, I don't see why the journalist must obscure them when it is central to the issue.

I GET GIDDY WHENEVER WE PISS OFF CHINA

Thank you, President Bush, for standing up to the UN for us!
Even pro-choice Americans would object to our funding of forced, non-negotiable abortions, if only they knew.

Some Americans... have lobbied for the US to cancel its donation to the UNFPA

When the recipients of our donations begin to demand more, as if they were entitled to our money instead of appreciating our generous gifts, we need to evaluate how undeserving of our magnanimity they have become.

How awful that China has the gall to lecture whether our choice of how we spend our money is "correct" or not. This behavior is part of the legacy of the last thirty years of our coddling of them.

Bet if we kept that money our surplus would be just fine :)

[JMJ333]

Thank you, God! Lets keep those prayers strong!

"Giving credit where it is due" bump. I hope this is only the beginning! =)

Say Communist China, if you want to kill your unborn children;

USE YOUR OWN MONEY!

Why are the taxpayers of America paying for any "social program" in China or anywhere else in the world???? We keep the world's bad guys on the run...shouldn't that be enough?

Having said that...thank you President Bush.

[Mfkmmof4]

Great question and you are so right!!

[EODGUY]

I'm elated GW made the moral decision.:)

[Paulus Invictus]

What! And wreck Wal-Mart ( and several others in bed with the Chicoms)???
