So a friend of mine work's for Senator Dick Durbin in DC, the Democratic Whip for Senate, and she just sent me an article about what's going on in Capital Hill in regards to T*bit. One of the main journals people on the hill (as we call it) use for source of information is CQPolitics, and it has all of the latest congressinal, senate, and executive news. I completely forgot about how amazing this source is until she reminded me today. I used to read it every morning for my congresswoman when I worked there and a lot of the United State's representatives use CQPolitics as their main source of information, in addition to many others. I think it's an intersting article about how American foreign policy is addressing this situation. This particular article is Nancy Pelosi's (the speaker of the house and AWESOME WOMAN!) stance on the issue!

The issue of boycotting vs. engaging brought up by the article is a perennial one-- and the discussion involves not only China, but also Burma, Iraq, etc. Is it better to shame a country into compliance with certain standards of human rights by refusing to become involved with it, or is it better to engage with said country on economic grounds and hope that, one way or another, networks of ex-change will lead to change? It's an important question... what do you think?
