[b]Don`t you get it? What you see as ``brutality`` is just an ordinary response from one country`s institutions to a movement that threatens to damage its security and integrity from inside. Protesters in Tibet are breaking the law, they are becoming violent, aggressive and are calling for parting of a sovereign country. By state defense terminology, they are rebels and thus should be stopped.
I would expect a Serbian apologist to defend China's official story of its Tibet problem. After all, if China fights "lawbreakers" in Tibet, why can't Serbia do the same in Kosovo? Chinese propaganda and Serbian propaganda have the same goal--suppression of ethnic minorities no matter the cost in lives or international reputation. Unfortunately for the Serbians, the world doesn't need their markets. We do need China's. So Kosovo will remain free despite Serbian protests and tantrums. Tibet will not.
