China's been an issue for Congress since way back when. Where are you getting the idea that China was not discussed the past years in Congress? Do you think the "wingnuts" just came up with today the idea to argue for China to revalue its currency?

I would be deeply impressed if they can get China to quit pegging their currency to the dollar. If it appears about to happen, buy Chinese equities... cause they would soar. Their currency is probably about 15-20% undervalued right now. (relative to the dollar)
It will be interesting to see how this plays out.

Instead of trying to make a usual partisan post you are stated how it really is.

The US can decide to limit imports from China, perhaps starting with lead painted toys? It would never have been in our interests to invade Sudan unilaterally, with or without Iraq.

The Democrats are doing the same thing the Republicans did when they held power, trying to talk tough about China while doing nothing.
Cypress made it a partisan comment. My expectation was you would follow whether Cypress was right or wrong. I was in shock.
Not a nice way to give a compliment on my part but that's how I did it.
I don't see much progress from years of "talking" to china.
This simply gives the american government more tools and authority to pressure the chinese.
Bush has been notorious for not adequalty using enforcment tools available to us (e.g., WTO) to pressure countries who engage in unfair trade practices.
In other words usc, Cawacko is the kind of guy who tries to pick up women by approaching them and saying "I don't think you're fat".
He's home alone a lot.

I never said it was good to invade sudan unilaterally.
I just think bush and bolton were playing politics and not really interested in helping in Sudan.

Cypress, you do know, don't you, that if a nation deflates it's currency it's losing a great deal of profit in what it's selling, and is basically destroying it's own economy?

K, sorry my bad and I apologize then.
Just too many partisan people around.
Most of what I post is taken as partisan and I am very NON partisan.
Of course there are some partisan views I agree with, from both sides actually.
discounting the Neos of course.

Based upon what, other than feelings? It was Bolton I believe that first brought up the term 'genocide' to what was happening. It was he and the administration that actually forced the MSM coverage of Sudan, off of just blogs and other new media. Do you really think anything would be happening now in the UN, other than pleas if not for the interest brought to bear?
I think it was Powell who first called it a genocide.

I am not totally sure I am not privy to the backroom discussions in the Bush adminsitration regarding Sudan. I do however know their attitude regarding the UN.

Again, apples and oranges. The UN is and has been ineffective, with the exception of humanitarian issues, nearly since its inception. Even in humanitarian efforts they've been plagued in recent years with charges of corruption and sex scandals by the local populations. But right now it's the game in town, regardless of one's point of view.
