--> well, i wish someone from china would try to kill george bush's father so then we could invade them and spread liberty and democracy.. but i guess tibet doesn't deserve our freedoms. bah. if they only had oil.

before we invaded Iraq i got an email from someone arguing that we should invade Iraq because, morally it was our duty, because Saddam was killing his own people blah blah blah.. of course i went on to explain that the USA doesn't give a shit about human rights etc and sighted a million cases around the globe throughout history where we trained death squads, overthrew democratically elected dictators and installed thugs in power to maintain our interests in the region etc etc and went on to say that if the USA did give a shit about human rights we'd invade china and if we do go into Iraq it'll be for any reason that's not human rights abuses.

so, now w/the, "rioters" as china calls them, "trying to ruin the olympics" i'm waiting for our jovial, aloof, tap dancing moron president to comment just to remind us all, once again, how dumb and naive he is.

the reason for this blog? i don't know.. i went to boing boing and they had some info plus videos of monks "rioting".. which is basically hanging out, clapping and hooting in a high falsetto.. at least that's all the videos i've seen show. this type of behavior is grounds for arrest and over 1000 have been arrested.

HOWEVER, there are pics linked from the boingboing piece of dead monks shot through the back etc... which is just great for my outlook on the state of the world. if they only had oil we'd care.

" The Dalai Lama says he will resign as head of state of the Tibetan Government in Exile if the violence continues".

China claims that they are improving Tibet and their way of life by providing social programs and helping them modernize, which is supposed to make us forget that China routinely denies the Tibetans their basic human rights and are violating all sorts of international laws in the process.

Similarly, the U.S. feels it is acceptable to preemptively invade Iraq (illegal under the Geneva conventions and the U.N. Charter) and kill a bunch of people because it is for the noble cause of spreading democracy.

And terrorism killed erm 8?

but hey, there was just a new 'bin laden' video that reminded europe how "real" the thread of international terrorism is.
And, after all, an enemy is useful and unites us. Sometimes its just hard to remember who is currently the most evil one that fits the strategic goals best.

NOW it's to spread democracy.. THEN it was because of weapons of mass destruction.. both were/are lies.

correct-o-mundo

China @ 2008 and Germany @ 1930
They both used the olympics for all the wrong reasons ..... maybe in the future .... more similarities
