History will judge the attempted extermination of Tibetan culture and nation harshly. Anybody who disagrees with the world concern is a running dog and a lickspittle . . .
If you can call killing, beating, and burning innocent people and business is not a riot, then i can say that you have a brain of a peanut. Tibetans have no rights to torment other people. Any govert in the would would put the riots down with force
Why the Tibetians waited until olympics to do a violent protest like this when their land was taken away 50 years back. These are all cheap politics by Dalai lama and his western democracy supporters . After staying in India for so long even lama and his supporters have become good hypocrates. One day they protest against china and another day lama says please dont disturb olympics in China. If the western countries and other had so much concern about Human rights in china, why was the olympics given to china at first stage. These same countries only had supported chinese bid for olympics at IOC. This is Hypocracy. I do admit Indian communist are good for nothing , but not chinese they have done atleast something progressive for thier country. We should apply proper logical thinking (Not emotional one) with a look at dynamics of modern global politics and Economics and first protect India's interest. Other wise people like Dalai Lama and his other supporters like Richard Gere (who makes Tibetian cause as an excuse to come to india and mate his girlfriends) will jeopardise India's interests.
If the Friends of Tibet were so sure of all the so called "excursion of human rights", then how many were there to see, hear and ask the local residents about how they feel? All the American & European countries have only relied on CNN, BBC... etc. How do you verify if the so called "facts" were reported accurately without any political bias? For how long would the West like to pin China down over these issues? Let's face it, every family has their own internal problems. So I hope the West would mind their own business. I'm sure the Americans would not be happy if the whole AsiaPac were to protest if Hillary Clinton was elected, saying Americans are all racists and have their own bad human rights records under the rug. I hope everyone reading this msg would understand my point that every country has their own problems. Some problems would not be solved simply by external pressure. If the Friends of Tibet keep saying China violated human rights and exterminated Tibetan culture, may I ask how many members in Friends of Tibet were there to see, ask, hear and feel the Tibetan commoners' views? The media has already lost all credibility. Go see for yourself if you really care! Don't hide behind the monitor or protest in the comfort of your own country.
