Instead of wasting billions of money on creating a more hostile world and sentiment towards us, we can use it for the needy in Darfur, education in the USA, healthcare reform, welfare, the working class, etc. How's that for an idea!
My recommendation for our next president, on Day One of his or her administration, is - after hopefully already having boycotted the Olympics - to urge the Chinese to have a dialog with the Dalai Lama, to give Tibetans autonomy, and to stop the oppression and genocide. We should also work with the Chinese on other issues, like Darfur and other human rights issues, as well as on economics. It is time to talk with the Chinese and work with the world community to apply pressure on them.
On Day One, the new administration must take action to immediately end the genocide in Darfur and the U.S. occupation of Iraq, and to empower women and girls in order to protect them from the global HIV/AIDS pandemic.
