Bush’s veto of bill
spoils apple pie
Remember Tiananmen Square? Mow could we for
get ? Thousands of Chinese students led a pro-democra
cy movement that shook the world and ended abruptly
via communist rule.
Not that American democracy is perfect either.
Given, the ideal of democracy is a peachy idea, as is
the idea! of communism or most any governing system
designed for the good of the people. But we humans
have a way of messing things up. liven the best of ide
als can rarely survive our mutating interpretations
Regardless, it's these shining principles we contin
ue to strive for — goals such as human rights and dig
nitv. which we like to link
to Democracy Anri going

American thought pattern,

Why is President
Bush threatening

China to betier its record concerning human rights,
missile sales and trade harriers in order to keep its
most fas ored nation trading status.
There are all kinds <d possible reasons out there,

1 he fact that l iongress passed this long-overdue

something as silly as human rights, missile control and
trade harriers, Cood to see our fearless leader has his
priorities straight
