Before U.S. Poll, China Criticizes 'Bush Doctrine'

BEIJING (Reuters) - On the eve of the U.S. election, China criticized the "Bush doctrine" of pre-emptive strikes, said the Iraq (news - web sites) war has destroyed the global anti-terror coalition and blamed arrogance for problems dogging the United States around the world.

In a strongly worded commentary, Qian Qichen, one of the main architects of China's foreign policy, said the United States was dreaming if it thought the 21st century was the "American century."

"The Iraq war has ... destroyed the hard-won global anti-terror coalition," Qian said in the article in the English-language China Daily newspaper.

"(It) has made the United States even more unpopular in the international community than its war in Vietnam ... The 21st century is not the 'American century'. That does not mean that the United States does not want the dream. Rather it is incapable of realizing the goal."

The searing article made no mention of Massachusetts Senator John Kerry (news - web sites), the Democratic Party's challenger to President Bush (news - web sites) in Tuesday's presidential race.

2. that taunt should cause the same reaction that sputnik did, but it wont

the chinese will eat our eyeballs right out of our sockets if we don't get our act together.

Qian is correct in his opinion, but it is really based upon the assumption that the US will continue to act like an idiot on the world scene and not get its own house in order. oddly, the chinese are very good at the former, but not so good themselves at the latter.
