MEDDLING IS WHO WE ARE:

China tells US to back off after Dalai Lama award (The Associated Press, 10/09/09)

China accused the United States on Friday of meddling in its domestic affairs after American lawmakers recognized the Dalai Lama with an award for his efforts to improve human rights.

The U.S. Congress presented the award, which was in honor of the late U.S. human rights activist Tom Lantos, to the exiled Tibetan spiritual leader on Tuesday.

It's a sad state of affairs when Congress has more moral courage than the president.
