Tom Lantos & Google : Censorship & Surviving

Recently Tom Lantos, the ranking Demcorat on the House International Relations Committee, insulted representatives of Cisco Systems, Google, Microsoft and Yahoo !. He compared their cooperation with the Chinese government with regards to censorship to the German industrial base cooperation with Hitler's Nazi Party. Lantos also said, " Can you say in plain English that you are ashamed of what you and and other companies have done?". This is a false issue. The fact is that the companies would not been allowed a foothold in China if it didn't agree to the laws of the nation. Those companies being in China will provide the Chinese population the oppurtunity to speak a new language to commincate and avoid censorship and oppression.

Lantos never misses an oppurtunity to twist any subject into a referendum on the Holocaust. Lantos is a survivor of the Holocaust. How did he survive when so many died? Did he cooperate with camp guards and camp rules to avoid death? Is he as guilty as Google for obeying the rules of survival? Lantos is a survivor of the Holocaust. He is not a victim. He should retire from Congress and get a real job. If he is qualified for anything.
