Editorial: Future will prove Clinton correct

In the end the sanctimonious rhetoric of China and Russia will simply be that. Russia and China have much more to lose than do we Americans. China wants to be accepted in the World Trade Organization and keep its "most favored nation" trade status, both of which can only come by U.S. efforts. Russia needs the International Monetary Fund and the promised U.S. foreign aid.

Let the rhetoric continue because it is hollow and meaningless from communists. For China to talk about the U.S. "human rights violations" in the embassy bombing is a joke. Let us not forget China's rape of the Buddhist nuns as it captured Tibet and Tiananmen Square.

Finally China runs the risk of a trade embargo of all the Chinese (junk) products that U.S. corporations import from the exploitation of slave criminal labor, thus depriving American jobs.

If the Clinton haters think that mass rape, murder, genocide and ethnic cleansing is OK, they have a problem -- not Clinton.
