Beijing Olympics: Disruption is Tibet’s Bargaining Chip

Just days after the Dalai Lama reiterated his support for the Beijing Olympics and condemned the violent protests against China’s brutal rule in Tibet, the Chinese have suffered another “senior moment” asking him to unequivocally and publicly promise, blah, blah, blah. When people who do nothing but break their promises, steal everything you’ve got then kick you in the ass when they’re done keep doing it, what kind of response are you supposed to give them? And when they don’t hear you when you do say what they want, are they really listening at all?

The Chinese don’t really care about Tibet, of course other than to maintain their oppression and eradication plan. Their “dialogue” with the Dalai Lama is done to keep the world off its back until the Olympics are over and they can just ignore us again like the past fifty years. It’s hard to tell sometimes whether the Chinese government is run by barbarians, businessmen- or Bush. BTW: anyone seen Cheney lately?
