I. Same ole politics, it never varies.
China has three suspects, (assuming China has the report plus
intel)
1. a German Foreign Ministry front organization
2. the US State Department
3. the self-proclaimed Tibetan Government in Exile
but put the blame squarely on the Dalai Lama. The DL is a safe
target.
II. The peaceful demonstrations in Tibet. The majority of the
demonstrators are genuinely peaceful. It is easy to garner support,
with a cause, and the promise of peaceful means only, many
innocents will lend their support. They always end up being the
pawn for the pogrom. Politics always use tried and tested
methods.
The Olympics is about sports and bringing the world together, it
is sad that it is being used for political agendas.
Why now?
You guessed it, because it is China's turn, and who cares about
China. Why not at Barcelona, Atlanta, Sydney? The Tibetian delima
was still alive at those games. The Olympics games is sacrocanct
then, but it is it is not now. Sad that the the very world
leaders who would quickly condemn any political interference
at any Olympic Games, is now silent, and some infact are riding the
current contempt of the Games.
The Olympics is about bringing people together.
