I am watching it unfold in the Russian media. China has sealed Tibetan areas affected, and foreigners are forbidden to enter or leave. There's some serious going on around Lhasa as we speak. I am worried that China might be doing some sort of cleansing in there. That would definitely put a damper on the Beijing Games. |

I'm really surprised that they are pulling this so close to the Olympics. I would really like to see some prominent nations have the stones to boycott the Games because of this.
It's ing disgusting and sad.
Buddhists are the more caring and peaceful people out there.
Why does China want Tibet so badly? Are there resources there? It can't be for religious or spiritual reasons since the Communists are sworn atheists, aren't they? |

| It's an occupation. Unjustified occupiers are the cause of much un-needed world turmoil. The only justification of an occupation is to punish an aggressor nation. |
