First of all, we need to clarify few things here. Clinton was demonstrate
against a then U.S. government policy, which he considered was wrong and
immoral.

Chinese students are demonstrate against the CCP's killing of innocent
peaceful student demonstrators of TAM.

Chinese students also demonstrate to demand political reform for China.
They demonstrate for freedom of speech, and freedom of free press.
They demonstrate to demand the Chinese government to free all political
prisoners jailed by the CCP.

The parallels that you are trying to draw are quite similar in principal
and different in scale.

Today's Chinese students demonstration resembles more closely to CCP organized
student movement in the middle and late 1940's, such as anti-hunger and
anti-civil-war strikes and student marches.  This is one of reason why the
CCP is so afraid of student's democracy movement today. Because they are
very well aware that in the 40's, student movement is one of the deciding
force helped to topple the KMT government.

This is also why the CCP is insinuating that the Chinese student movement
must have a "Black hand of foreign subversive forces."
The reason for such devious fabrication to discredit a patriotic peaceful
student movement whose main objective was to demand the government to reform
, is quite understandable, because many of today's CCP leaders were the
leaders of the student movement of the 40's, and the then student movement was
indeed controlled by a "subversive Black Hand" - CCP itself!

PP> Dose Mr. Bush think it is morally wrong for Chinese students to demonst
PP> against their own country (represented by the CCP goverment) ?

One correction is necessary here, that is:  CHINESE STUDENTS HAD NEVER
DEMONSTRATED AGAINST THEIR OWN COUNTRY! You have mixed up the CCP government
and the Chinese Nation. In CCP's eyes or they try to led us to believe,
CCP = China.  I'll have to differentiate these two. CCP does not equate to
China, I can strongly despise the CCP, but that does not  diminish my feelings
towards China. I can still love and enjoy the Chinese Cultural treasures, I
can still enjoy to watch Zhang Mu Yi directed movies, these enjoyment of mine
does not conflict with my contempt towards the CCP.

Your question could be better answered if you raised it to Mr Bush himself
during his presidential election debate, there are still couple of chances left
for you to do so. :-)

IMHO, your question could be yet another case of futile effort, take a hint:
Immidiateely after the June 4th massacre in TAM, Did not Mr Bush sent his
special envoy to kowtow the modern emperor of China?
