Well, today is the torch run for San Francisco. I am at work right now so i'll probably have to wait till tonight to watch the news to see what went on. There will be the pro-tibet group and I heard there will also be pro-china groups at the torch run. One side of me want to see the two groups clash, but at the same time I really hope there's no riot and only a radical protest. I really don't want to see pro-tibet groups attacking a handicapped torch holder.

The torch run through Paris was a flatout disaster. They had to put out the flame at least twice.

Apparently officials chose another route in secret. Absolutely nothing happened. Crafty crafty.

It's hard to tell, since they have forbidden free press in the nation and have limited all travel to Tibet. Just a short time ago we recieved Chinese media reports that they have "thwarted terrorists" in another occupied region of the north... killing the group reponsible for a plot against the Olympics (a claim they haven't backed up or elaborated on at all). I'm not completely convinced those were "terrorists" at all...

They've closed Mount Everest to climbers in fear that "terrorists" will thwart the carrying of the torch to the top... (or are they just afraid demonstrators will ruin their photo op?)

China is currently occupying other nations, suppressing the free practice of all religions (including the esoteric Buddhism of Tibet which is the foundation of that nation's entire culture), driving all manner of wildlife extinct, producing enough pollution to affect the air and rain quality in neighbor nations, and regularly imprisons and executes any who criticise the government.

I am not impressed.

Why are we supporting this government? Should China been given the Olympics at all? Are they being given implicit support of the world in their current campaign to make China "appear" to be a peaceful, unified, North-Korea-esque utopian state? Will this really help China improve? Or are we giving them incentive to degenerate further?

To many of you in here, Tiber is part of China mainland since hundreds years ago and not because of the Chinese storming Tibet around 50 years ago. You need to learn more about Chinese history about Tibet.

As for this topic subject, do not mix sport with politics or other stuff including religion, skin colour. Sport is where all of us can gather together in deference of our skin colour, religion and race.

Talking about not supporting, should we just not support American who cleary still invade Iraq even today while it is clear Iraq is not part of America rather than not supporting China?

The citizens of Iraq asked the US to invade and get rid of Saddam just like the citizens of Tibet asked China to come and kick their leaders asses and put them back in their 'paying taxes and homage to China' place and resisted all attempts by other countries to overthrow Chinese rule in Tibet. Now however they are asking them to leave. Situations change.

You are saying the Tibetan want to kick out Dalai lama out from Tibet while they still respect Dalai Lama authority even he is on exile in India?

You really need to learn history or you just finding excuses to make the American invasion into Iraq [ still occured even today ] as a right thing.

Take the time to read the interviews of the Iraqi refugees that were leaving in droves for fear of their lives in the years leading up to it.

Wanted, as I said "situations change". I know exactly what I am talking about, take your time to learn about the situation in Tibet previous to their being subjugated by China a little yourself.

So when 100 or 1000 peoples asking you to attack a country then you will attack them while over 99,9% of the other peoples there not asking you?

Tibetan supreme leader are Dalai Lama since long ago before even China storming Tibet around 50 years ago. Situation change? not at all since long ago Dalai Lama is respected and placed as the supreme commander of Tibetan.
