Is Bush trying to sabotage diplomatic efforts with Iran?

Bush to defy Chinese anger with Dalai Lama meeting

34 minutes ago

WASHINGTON (AFP) - US President George W. Bush prepared to host Tibet's spiritual leader the Dalai Lama Tuesday in defiance of Chinese warnings that the meeting would be a "severe violation" of normal ties.

The meeting with the Nobel Peace laureate was to take place at Bush's White House residence rather than the Oval Office, in an apparent attempt to placate China by toning down the symbolism of the encounter.

Also in a bid to stay low key, the White House did not announce what time the meeting would take place. But sources said it was scheduled for around 1:00 pm (1700 GMT).

<...>

China showed its displeasure by putting off a Berlin meeting of the five UN Security Council permanent members and Germany on the Iranian nuclear crisis, a US State Department official said.

this self centered. History is full of them. He is like our little God or Czar. What a large boy he has been. What could Barbara have done to this little brat any how?
