Exaclty. It's correct to question the actions of countries like the US, but despite the fact that America bashing is in vouge and it's chic among the ultra left to compare Bush's America to Hitler's Germany, perspective is much needed. On a relative basis China doesn't belong among the world's elite when it comes to personal liberty, regardless of how many skyscrapers they build or sucessful companies they launch. These Olympics are already doing wonders in reminding the rest of the world that.
