All you liberal haters take a giant step back. I would like to formally thank President Bush for his kind words at His Holiness the 14th Dalai Lama's Congressional Gold Medal ceremony yesterday. He implored the Chinese government to welcome "this good man" to Beijing and withstood criticism that he was supporting a separatist. Mr. Bush was adament that this was not a political meeting, but one between two religious men. I was almost moved to tears honestly. I was also reminded that many times, we have the same goals, even when we disagree over the best way to get there. At least we should in theory.
His Holiness has never advocated violence in over 40 years of living in exile, in spite of mass torture of his countrymen and religious persecution. The Chinese government continues to try to undermine his efforts, and he still, after 40 years, replies with the utmost compassion and sincerity. My favorite picture from the day was of His Holiness holding hands as the mediator between Nancy Pelosi and the President, all with a smile. Even though we're at each other's throats sometimes, it's good that we appreciate the freedom we do have. It is also a wonderful day when our country officially honors the efforts of such a brave and kind man. |
