Sad. Americans will pay the price for this seemingly stupidity.

China's AIDs epidemic is ignored by the Communist govt. Whatever statistics that come out of that govt are mostly outright lies. The number stated by them having AIDs is definitely a major understatement. The numbers must be at least 10 times larger -- knowing the way commie govt under-report.

But with regard to China, the largest dictatorship on Earth and a regime that jails democracy and labor activists, religious believers, journalists and health researchers, the president struck a different note. Only "eventually," he said, will the Chinese people "want their liberty pure and whole." Only "eventually" will they "insist on controlling their lives and their own country." Ironically, the president then rejected the "cultural condescension" that has "questioned whether this country, or that people, or this group, are 'ready' for democracy."

Bush can do no wrong.
