Quote by: Milton Bradley  I'm a free Tibet advocate, simply because all people deserve the right of self determination.
No hidden agenda, no anti-Chinese sentiment, just plain compassion for the less fortunate. |
But do you understand the politics behind the situation? or the history? at least the geography?
All these Tibetan Liberators screaming "Free Tibet" or "Chinese torture Tibetans"... and so on and so on...who do they represent?
The exiled Tibetan Leader isnt calling for it
The Dali Lama has the right sense to empathize with position Hu and the PRC are faced with.
These Free Tibet advocates just polarize the two sides and nothing is going to get done because of it.
The protest may have the right intention but it just pisses off Chinese citizens and warps the message of what is the true goal of the Dali Lama
If you want to protest for Tibet you might as well protest Vancouver's 2010 Olympics for not letting Quebec seperate
-or the cultural genocide and continued segregation of natives
or the US for anything involving the fed and the former confederate states
- Or US occupation in the middle east (I dont see free Iraq on the other side of that sign)
-
Or heres a bigger problem...NORTH KOREA
How many of these protesters have even gone to Tibet? Or even stop by in China?
