the President said if China wants a ceremony in Tiananmen Square, so be it; it is not my place to make demands on Communist China. Unbelievable. When the leader of the free world stands with Communists on the very same site where young Chinese students gave their lives struggling for democracy, something is wrong, very wrong, and the hope and inspiration for democracy that once existed in China may turn into disgust and despair. Let us tell it like it is. If the President can stonewall Kenneth Starr, the President can stonewall the butchers of Tiananmen Square. And one last word: The Berlin Wall would still be standing if Ronald Reagan made no demands on Communists.
