Tibet and Pelosi

From : http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/23741257/.

" US House Speaker Nancy Pelosi called on the world Friday to denounce China's crackdown of anti-government protests in Tibet, calling the crisis 'a challenge to the conscience of the world.'

Pelosi, one of the fiercest Congressional critics of China, was greeted by cheering Tibetans as she arrived to meet the Dalai Lama. She is the first major official to visit the leader of Tibet's exile community since peaceful protests turned violent last week in the Chinese-ruled region.

'If freedom-loving people throughout the world do not speak out against China's oppression in China and Tibet, we have lost all moral authority to speak on behalf of human rights anywhere in the world,' Pelosi said before a crowd of thousands of Tibetans, including monks and schoolchildren. "

'The situation in Tibet is a challenge to the conscience of the world,' she said. "

I fullheartedly agree with the comments, but look who's talking ? One of the most powerful representatives of Amercian democracy. And what about Iraq, Myanmar, Darfour, the Middle East and countless other regions in this powder keg of a world ?

Amercians, please stop giving lessons to the rest of the world ! Clean up your own act first and we will welcome you with open arms and open hearts again !
