The Dalai Lama...

…will apparently not be visiting with Secretary Clinton or President Obama when he comes to Washington DC in October. Apparently, they are worried that China will get upset and as a result, that could put a damper on President Obama’s trip to China in late October or November. Given that this administration seems to have some sort of red-carpet gala, ceremony, celebration or “dialogue” with high ranking Chinese government officials about once a month, it would be a bit ballsy of China to complain that it’s being dissed simply because the President (or SOS) were to exercise their right to invite whomever they damn well please to visit with them.

I’m really surprised by this. And disappointed. And no, I don’t think it’s enough to send lower-level officials to meet with the Dalai Lama.

By the way, given all of the above, would somebody please explain the rationale for our heavy-handed and very punitive policy towards Cuba?
