Just Don't Editorialize about China Anymore
It's inexplicable!
Why wasn't this Kaplan trainwreck replaced with this trite, yet respectful, Beijing Olympics editorial?
I understand Kaplan wants the US to engage Beijing as a competitor, and wants to reduce tensions and any chance of friction by just removing any chance of any bad words ever passing between embassies. But, Britain? Perhaps, they can serve tea and opium, too!
And, talk about patronizing! First, Americans ruined a race, and now it's a token for a belated moral awakening motivated by a corporate sports spectacle and hydrocarbon struggles. Please, just keep killing losers the old-fashioned way-with booze, disease, and religion! It's unseemly and disrespectful for a great power to grovel. If America wants to beat China, it needs to devise a strategy and execute it, not graft a serpent's tongue onto a peevish moron, calling it diplomacy.
The Olympics are a circus, but Beijing deserves smiling grace, just as every other host-including Hitler-before now has received. Enduring dumb, unbearably uncomfortable diplomatic ceremonies is what we elect presidents for, and what citizens around the world expect their prima donna athlete to do with their precious tax money. Just do it, for the sake of everything everyone wants-with Beijing's help. Ditch the privileged attitude, and suck!
