One of the democrats in the white house just said (sorry I don't remember her name) that: "Mother Teresa and Mao Se Tung: though not often coupled with each other, these are the two historical figures that I turn to most."

His intentions were to create a powerful nation where China would rule China and do so on her own terms not those dictated by the west.  Since when is it a crime to want independance and  strong Governement that prevents the warlordism that dominated China during the 20's and 30's.

a thought just occured to me.  It could be that given the recent stickiness with the Dali Lama and American Chineese relations, it could be a back channel overture to Chineese civic pride designed to placate the chineese.  In otherwords, that quote could be a plant for the Chineese media to pick up and run with.

A bundred apologies ( to go with those hundred flowers blooming)  to my Chinese friends. 

Please do not let my atrocious spelling hinder relations between our great nations!
