Reading some of the comments from the Obama camp - and a few around FR recently - show we also have our racist, nationalistic, chauvanistic, xenophobic, and resentful side, too...

A majority of the Chinese I have spoken to have asserted gleefully that we deserved the 3000 dead we sustained on 9/11. I can't think of too many Americans who would cheer at the deaths of thousands of Chinese in a terror attack. Russia's not exactly been a great friend, and we were horrified at the Beslan attacks.

Not those with whom I have spoken. You write as if we are AT WAR with China. The people there are not 'the government'. Don't you think they want to be free of the oppression of Communism? Remember Tienanmen Square? Would you have that same courage?

The ridicule posted here at FR is essentially cheering about their tragedy. Do you think that to be a Conservative American means you aren't allowed to show compassion for humanity?

Then you talk to different Chinese than I do... Those that I work with and spend time with in Shanghai, Ningbo, Hangzhou, and Xiamen all were horrified at the attack.

Read a little further up in this thread... Not a terror attack, but a natural disaster, but many FReepers seem to revel in the loss of life in China.
