But he knows something we don't. Little things like human rights don't really matter to the people and circles he moves in. I mean, Bush just recently joined their ranks, becoming a world class (albeit small scale) torturer.
And also, it's bad to insult your loan shark...
No, we have to remember that human rights only really matter to people like you and I, because if governments take anyone's rights away it will be yours and mine (and the U.S. government is having a field day doing just that right now).
The leaders? Their rights are safe, always have been.
But we have to keep quiet and not kick up a fuss, right? It's all for our own good, isn't it?
Isn't it?
U.S. President George W. Bush has defended his decision to attend next month's Olympics opening ceremony in Beijing, saying that to do otherwise "would be an affront to the Chinese people."
Speaking to reporters Sunday ahead of the start of this week's summit of the Group of Eight industrialized nations in Japan, Bush said he did not need to boycott the ceremony to show his position on religious freedom and human rights in China.
He said if he failed to attend the Games it would "make it more difficult to be able to speak more frankly with the Chinese leadership."

George Bush talks about "moral leadership". But in this we see nothing but moral cowardness. (Or maybe lack of morals.)
But we know this already. He is not going to change. It is we who will change things in November.
"It is we who will change things in November."
I'm not so sure the system is designed to produce the kind of change you hope for.
Still, my fingers are crossed.
