The actions occurring in Tibet are deplorable. Any time there is loss of life due to such circumstances, it speaks in words unheard, testifying to the utter absurdity that is the policy by which the world has become accustomed to. Its a nominal occurrence; invasion, bombings, suppression..enslavement.
Chinas actions are intolerable, and that should extend to any other country. There is no reasonable argument except defense; and China can hardly prove that. And yet I can't say that with any real certainty - I am not on the ground there, I can bear no witness, and therefore, cannot make an actual assessment. I merely am stating my opinion based on the media I have encountered. In a way I wish I was there..just to know, and to see.
If all is as it is said, then China should be held responsible for their actions.
On a historical note, it is quite sad to see the long ago traditions of the ancient Olympians long forgotten and cast aside. It used to be, in the days of high civilization, that wars and battles ceased for the times of the sacred games, save some incredibly un-ignorable conflict.
I call for a return to the old ways. And if China wants to host an event which was remembered for things such as sportsmanship, good will, and healthy competition, then it needs to show those qualities to gain that honor.
That and no more antifreeze in my toothpaste.
