In less than 3 weeks the US Congress has caused protests in Iraq, Turkey and now official protests by the Chinese Government.
China (http://www.farsnews.com/English/newstext.php?nn=8607240332):
TEHRAN (Fars News Agency)- A US official said international talks in Germany on the Iranian nuclear program have been postponed after China canceled in protest.
The unidentified official told reporters Monday that the move seems to reflect China's displeasure over a visit by the Dalai Lama to the United States.
The US Congress will award the exiled Tibetan leader its highest honor in a ceremony Wednesday - the same day the Berlin talks were scheduled.
The unnamed official said China's cancellation will probably push the talks off until next week.
Iraq (http://gatewaypundit.blogspot.com/2007/10/iraqis-protest-us-senate-march-for.html):
Iraqi protesters carried signs against the US Senate's meddling reading:
" No! No to Federalism! United Iraq from south to north and from east to west!"
Turkey (http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=15271077):
Turkey's top general insists that U.S.-Turkish military ties will never be the same if Congress adopts a resolution labeling as "genocide" the killings of Armenians in Ottoman Turkey. Seventy percent of supplies for U.S. troops in Iraq go through Turkey.
Good going, guys!
