During the last five years over 200,000 people have been killed and over two and a half million displaced in the Sudan with the help of the Chinese Communist Party (I would say, "China" but China is the Chinese Communist Party). Yet, the appointed leader of China, Hu Jintao, is mysteriously not "Hitler."

The tragic numbers from the Sudan are certainly on par with those of Iraq yet they earn a mere fraction of media attention compared to the hyperbole, spin, and subversion directed to America's effort to liberate a country from a dictator and theocratic would-be dictators.

Hu Jintao even threw in Tibet to spice things up for the love a dictator crowd. It is true that Tibet got a little temporary attention from the crowd that is always selective in picking which military act to be "outraged" by but the crowds of protestors and non-stop media spin directed at U.S. (and coalition forces) in Iraq hardly rivals that of the response to an equally tragic Sudan or Tibet.

Iraq is slowly becoming everything conservatives hoped it would become (at enormous cost to be sure) and it's becoming everything leftist had hoped to prevent; a free and prosperous society. It may be too early to assume that good luck will continue for Iraq (after all, Obama could be elected and Al Queda could get a new international headquarters in Iraq).

So, the American president is "Hitler" for having the resolve to deal with an Iraqi dictator and theocratic terrorists but Hu Jintao is merely...the host of the Summer Olympics.

And the left talks of "injustice." Give me a break.
