Don't Break the China

Speaking during a visit to Tokyo, President Bush defended his decision to attend the opening ceremonies of the upcoming Beijing Olympics. He had been under pressure to skip the event--as many other world leaders are already doing--because of China's ongoing human rights abuses. According to Bush, "not going to the opening ceremony for the games would be an affront to the Chinese people."

Yeah, heaven forbid we should piss off the Chinese. They might begin sending us poisoned pet food and lead contaminated products.
