Bush Says Side by Side with China Against Terrorism

Of course China stands against terrorism. They’re Lawful Evil, for pity’s sake. The last thing they want is Islamic Fundamentalists or Taliban-like groups getting a foothold in western China.

No, but, really — I’m seriously hoping that in our eagerness to deal with terrorism, and to garner support in that effort, we won’t give other folks too big of a blank check for too long. The ends may justify those means in the short run, but in the long run it can only do us (if not others) grave harm.
