Right or Left?

RICHARD K. TAYLOR appears to want to cut leftists down to size with only a faint nod toward rightist policies. What are his accusations against leftists? -- "We are moved by the anguish and oppressed in El Salvador and South Africa, but not by those suffering from government policies in Cuba, China, North Korea ..."

Taylor is either a poor reader of history or a closet apologist for conservatives. It was President George Bush who rushed to the rescue of Chinese leaders after the Tiananmen Square massacre. Most leftists strongly opposed this.
