OT: unrest in Tunisia continues:

What a busy foreign policy week! Tunisia, the shakeup in the Israeli cabinet, China’s state visit. There’s a lot of speculation about the state dinner. Some are saying Barack Obama gave away too much to China in return for nothing. I guess GW Bush had refused to give China a full red-carpet, state dinner because of their human rights record and for other reasons. It does seem like this administration is very, very deferential to China.
