President Jintao visits Seattle
Today, I had lunch with a friend that knows me better than most people here in Seattle. We met at University of Washington in 1999 and he had a few wise words to share over lunch as I depart for another city.

President Jintao's arrival made quite the ruckus... helicopters, 500+ police, hundreds of people waving China's flags outside of the Four Seasons Hotel. At first I was taken back by the vast sea of supports for the President. As I walked a couple of more blocks I spotted the protesters, of all things there were some people protesting against the use of natural resources in Asia--
