So if Tiananmen occurred today with the Chinese Government rolling out tanks and killing hundreds, if not thousands, of its own people, that it would also fit the Panetta rule.

when you make that determination, you should be making it in the U.S. Congress not by one individual of whichever party who happens to be the President.

I think if the administration had properly put the issue before the Congress, the likelihood is that it would have been supported.

If we stand for anything as a country, then we would have an obligation to declare those sorts of acts of a magnitude that we would not recognize the validity of that government.
