To placate the Chinese government, President Obama's meeting this week with his holiness the Dalai Lama, was canceled.
In 2007, against China's wishes, Bush became the first US President in office to meet in public with the Dalai Lama. At this meeting the Dalai Lama was awarded the Congressional Gold Medal.
'Forgive me father for I have sinned', but in this instance I believe Bush's actions were right, and Obama's actions were wrong.
Last week the Obama administration aided in suppressing the Goldstone report which identified War Crimes, and Crimes against Humanity committed by Hamas and the Israeli military. The US Ambassador to the UN has openly stated she did not accept the findings of the report but, took said stand only with regards to Israel.
The US should not stand on the side of the oppressor. Rather it should take a stand as a staunch defender of victims of human rights abuses. The US should take a stand as a staunch defender of prosecuting any and all persons or nations who have committed War Crimes, and Crimes against Humanity.
