But the Chinese government did not neutralize Tibet cuturally and economically, very much letting it be a country within a country. Tibetans must be feeling in a sense, isolated and neglected. Chinese people are not in the blind as the media claimed. With or without broadcast coverage, Tibet is not a priority in their daily life. But of course, making the protests into their evening news certainly raises questions and conversations among Chinese citizens. The Chinese people I've talked to are more compromising and willing to put their financial pursuit in front of politics. Chinese people in general are more capitalistic than most people realize, but they just don't wear the label on their sleeves. Monks not civilians started the protests first. How exactly did a peaceful protest turn into a riot is still unknown to most of us. Dalai Lama has almost single handedly introduced Tibet to the outside world, putting Tibet in the spotlight on the world stage. The man who loves to preach is honest and sincere. For him to sabotage the Olympic is highly unlikely. Simply because he is incapable of doing so. Tibetans should listen to their spiritual leader "to seek a peaceful and mutually beneficial solution through dialogue". What are the issues facing Tibetans? What kind of religious freedom are they lacking? Do they want to be independent? Dalai Lama has already stated that he is not a separatist. How many people have been killed? Are there evidences? What human right violations are taking place? How wide spread is the genocide? There is a lot of lost time to catch up on between Chinese officials and Tibetans. Olympic is an opportunity to put China on the defensive. But boycott the games hurts the athletes the most. In a world where principles no longer matter, racism tolerable, sexism acceptable, there is no need to drag athletes through the dirt of politics. The triumph of victory and the agony of defeat in the sport of hearts and souls, they earn their place there to compete. One Moment in Time by Whitney Houston is one of my all time favorites. I highly recommend it to all the Clinton's supporters. China invaded Tibet about quarter of a century ago.

The Dalai Lama is rather intimately connected to networks than can only be described as Nazi--going way back. But the' not-to-be-impeached fascist-leaning Cheney wants a war with China--so 'opposition leader' Pelosi does as she is told.
