The World's Leaders Dances The Olympic Samba?
* Angela Merkel was against going to the China Olympic opening from the outset.
* Now she says that she cannot go because it would interrupt her vacation.
* The British prime Minister said he is not going because it would conflict with his schedule. But he intends to go to the closing ceremony.
* The French President Nicola Sacosa said that he is now going. He was against going to this opening some months ago.
* George W. Bush said that he too was going ever since. But now he says that he is going to support the US athletes taking part:
* But George W Bush took the opportunity to voice Lip Service against China's human rights Violations in Malaysia today, en route to china.
* The Canadian Prime Minister also said he was not going to the opening ceremony.
CONCLUSION:
All of these political leaders do not want to cause diplomatic or trade problems with China. But they do feel that they have to say something about China's Human Rights record. Just to appease the masses internationally.
But the masses internationale are not fooled by all this rhetoric in the least!
