A plea: "Mr. Hu - Tear Down This Firewall"
Via Instapundit:Tom over at Skeptipundit asks that Chinese President Hu Jintao tears down the "Great Firewall of China". It seems a reasonable request concidering the shopping list.
President Hu is very interested in taking advantage of the global marketplace - he is spending a few days in Washington State visiting Microsoft, Boeing and Starbucks and is traveling with a large contingent of trade negotiators, hoping to strike billions of dollars of business deals for China. Later in the week he will be heading to the White House to meet President Bush where the message should be that with the free movement of capital and goods in the global marketplace comes an imperative for the free movement of ideas. The people of the world must be able to speak to, and listen to the people of China, and until that happens, relations between our nations cannot develop normally. Lets hope that our president decides to deliver this simple, clear message: Mr. Hu - Tear Down This Firewall!Bush isn't Reagan, but freedoms will mean more to the oppressed than expencive coffee, and overpriced crappy software. He should speak those words loud clearly and publicly "Mr. Hu, Take down this firewall,"

And the chances of Bush doing this? About the time when Cheney supports gun control, and Ted Kennedy supports abstinence.
