Snowman:

Clinton apologized to China early today...

China is no stranger to killing masses of people on purpose... Tienemen Square where thousands were killed and arrested for something we take for granted, "Freedom of Speech"... And, the tens of millions of its own citizens killed throughout the years since the Communist takeover... These were not accidents... They were planned retaliation against any opposition to the heavy repressive hand of Communism... Contrast this to either an honest or stupid mistake in the Chinese Embassy bombing and you have the height of hypocracy by a government that doesn't know the meaning of human rights...

It all started with Milosevic and his midevil Ethnic Cleansing philosophy... Whether you like Clinton of not, he was the first U.S. president to stop the killing in Bosnia... And now over a million displaced Albanian beaten and battered Kosovar's have some degree of hope that they can return to their homeland without fear of new Serbian reprisals because Clinton is taking the political heat for doing what's morally right...

So yes, he apologized to China today... I wonder what they would have done if the shoe was on the other foot...

Clinton's publicly apologized 3 times. Thats enough in my book (and its more than he apologized for in the Monica affair). China's state run TV hasn't shown the apologizes just the effects of the bombing. Maybe they should show the mass graves over in Kosovo. Always two sides (at least) to each arguement.
