Australian Columnist: Ignoring Asia 'Unforgivable'
Columnist Greg Sheridan of The Australian thinks, "The Bush administration has delivered a serious diplomatic snub to Southeast Asia, with Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice refusing to attend the ASEAN Regional Forum and related meetings in Laos this week."
"Instead," he said in a July 26, 2005 column, "she will send her deputy, Bob Zoellick. Rice's inexplicable and gauche decision is a serious setback to U.S. diplomacy in the region, at a time of heightened Chinese diplomatic activism in Southeast Asia," Mr. Sheridan wrote.
See "Ignoring Asia 'unforgivable'" for more of his analysis.
