Confused politicians

As the truth about the Lhasa riots has been brought to light and the violence by Tibet separatists condemned by the international community, US House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and others have urged the Chinese government to "end its crackdown" in Tibet and "enter into a substantive dialogue" with the Dalai Lama. This is a typical example of confusing right from wrong, says a commentary of Xinhua News Agency. The following is an excerpt:

The Lhasa riots were violent, premeditated, and organized by the Dalai followers. This is an undeniable fact witnessed by the local people and foreign tourists.

Pelosi and other members of the US Congress failed to condemn those involved in the riots. Nor did they denounce the separatists for organizing the riots. Instead, they put pressure on the Chinese government and people. This cannot but lead people to question their sense of justice, and whether they are able to tell right from wrong.
