While in India, Rep. Jim Sensenbrenner (R) criticized China over their handling of the Tibetan protests that have been catching international attention lately. Sensenbrenner met with the Dalai Lama over the weekend which most likely prompted his criticisms.
I generally feel that it is laughable for an individual congress member
attempt to shape foreign policy, his reason for being in South Asia is quite cool and uncharacteristic of his republican roots and district; an international congressional
delegation on global warming. It's a joint delegation with the UK and
India, in which Sensenbrenner is the most senior Republican on board. Being orginally from Sensenbrenner's district, I can't ever remember global warming being a political topic that concerned Waukesha republicans. Either Sensenbrenner is acting like a trustee or there has been a shift in political perception out there in the 'Sha.
