[dArKeR]

China, the most important ally of Myanmar's military regime, is prepared to help break the deadlock between the ruling junta and pro-democracy forces in that country, a Thai Foreign Ministry spokesman said yesterday.

The Chinese, said spokesman Sihasak Phuangketkeow, were ready to join other Southeast Asian countries in fostering a reconciliation if the Myanmar government agrees.

Sihasak said the offer was voiced during a meeting between Chinese Foreign Minister Li Zhaoxing and his Thai counterpart Surakiart Sathirathai. They met on the sidelines of the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation summit, where the Myanmar issue was discussed among some of the 21 participating world leaders but not mentioned in the final conference communique.

In my opinion, Bush has stuck the dagger into America and we won't be a moral world leader anymore.
