An inconvienent truth is that Communist China brutally invaded Tibet in 1949. The physical destruction, the rapes and other unspeakable perversions committed against a peaceful, religious people, are certainly war crimes.
The west did nothing.
Now the Dali Lama visits the west, and of all the public figures you can name, only House Speaker Nancy Polosi has had the cajones to speak out against the Red Chinese invasion and occupation of Tibet.
Where is Great Warrior and Yale MBA el presidente? Where is Dick "12 gauge" Cheney? Where is Newt, where is "Honest John," engineer of the "Straight Shooting Express"?
Where is Barry Obammy? Hillary Clinton? Bill Clinton?
Like cockroaches exposed to the light, they have scurried off under the stove or refrigerator.
If the United States and the overrated Harry Truman had fought the Korean War the way we fought WWII, it would have been over in 30 days and the aggressing parties, i.e. North Korea and their friends Red China and the USSR, would have sued for peace in a manner similar to the Japanese in 1945. Peking going up in a big white cloud, and the KW would have ended.
Instead, the west was found wanting.
Instead, we sent our brave men to get chewed up by endless armies and bitter winters.
Instead, because of the sins of our fathers, we still have to deal with a very dangerous Red China.
Thank you, Speaker Polosi. There is at least one person in Foggy Bottom with the cajones to speak the truth about the communist Chinese.
