I rarely post, but I am informed and entertained by the debate on this board. I want to chime in with one thing at this time about the China situation. If Clinton was President during this incident most of you would have had his head for doing precisely what Bush did. And you know he would have. And what about the spin and the parsing of words that is going on post agreement. "It all depends on what is is." It all depends on what "sorry" is. In the end what I think is that whether it's Bush or Clinton or anyone else, when you get into the Oval office decisions end up being less about ideology and more about pragmatism. A pragmatism that has to weigh so many crucial factors such as the lives of the crew, the technology of the plane that has to be protected, business and trade, left wing and right wing, international politics, finesse in maintaining relationship with a leadership we abhor while at the same time hoping to shape a different political atmosphere developing in the people that hopefully will bring about positive change.

Those who take the hard line are shortsighted at best and at worst need a testosterone check.
