After all, Tibet was invaded, not hundreds of years ago, but sixty or so. The Tibetans are actively repressed today, with imprisonment and torture routine. Tibetan culture is being destroyed, as well as the Tibetan ecosystem.<BR/><BR/>Moreover, the 2008 Olympics provide a real opportunity to exert pressure - moral, rather military - on China. Call me a naive optimist, but I really believe that spreading the word about efforts to improve the condition of Tibetans can have an impact: after all, the Chinese are acutely concerned about "face", and opinions in the blogosphere can exploit this fact.Glyn Moodyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04436885795882611585noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19798349.post-58227426165967508302007-08-11T05:29:00.000+00:002007-08-11T05:29:00.000+00:00Why don't we righteous Americans set a good exampl...Why don't we righteous Americans set a good example for the Chinese by reliniquishing our established statehood towards Native American Independence?<BR/><BR/>Of cours not, we are hypocrits.
