"If the US Congress is responsible for punishing or shaming foreign regimes for evil acts, why are we not condemning China for its current actions toward the government and people of Tibet? Why are we not passing resolutions condemning the daily cyber attacks against U.S. commercial and governmental computer systems conducted by the Chinese? Why is there no bipartisan condemnation of the numerous shell corporations that have been formed in the U.S. with the fact concealed that these corporations are operatives of the Chinese military? (Now these corporations can contribute as they see fit to U.S. political races thanks to the recent U.S. Supreme Court decision.) No resolutions are in the works about China's manipulation of the value of its currency to the immediate detriment of the U.S. and other countries.
Oh, I forgot that China is the US banker. It allows us in America to continue down the road to our own economic ruin. Without China, our politicians would have to deal with our debt albatross without the option of pushing the pain onto future generations.
This may explain the resolution against the Ottoman Empire. It no longer exists. Congress can cloak itself with the halo of moral outrage without risking its catnip of borrowed money or campaign contributions."
