The People's "Republic"

President Bush was in attendance at the opening ceremonies in Beijing today. 

I don't think anyone understands the significance of that last sentence. See, no American president has EVER attended the opening ceremonies of an Olympics on foreign soil. EVER.

So why is it that this monumental occasion happens to occur in a country run by a communist dictator? 

I don't have a good answer for you, but it's troubling to say the least. And if you think China has taken strides towards freedom, check out this blog posting and scroll down to the entry about running to a protest. Gotta love the People's "Republic."
