So when is the White House or any damned Republican going to find time to speak out? As much as they like to tell everyone about their love of freedom and democracy, Republicans are no-shows in a very important struggle. If only Tibet had oil. In the mean time, it's Pelosi as the lone voice of reason.
"If freedom loving people throughout the world do not speak out against China's oppression in China and Tibet, we have lost all moral authority to speak on behalf of human rights anywhere in the world," Pelosi said before a crowd of thousands of Tibetans, including monks and schoolchildren.
"The situation in Tibet is a challenge to the conscience of the world," she said.
