"What Happened To You China? You Used To Be Cool."
Unbefuckinglievable.
It's too bad Tibet has no oil reserves, like Kuwait; or that it's existence was necessary to usher in Armageddon, like Israel; or it isn't the home of a kick-ass shortcut, like Panama. This whole thing just reaffirms what our real foreign policy is about: it's not about spreading freedom or ending repression. It's about what cool stuff do you got that we can get in exchange for helping you brown people out...
Ever since the first days of his presidency, Bush has shown his inability to stand up in any way to China. Remeber that whole thing when our plane was forced to make an emergency landing in China? One can only imagine how the Cuban Missle Crisis would've gone down on Dubya's watch.

Ouch! Yeah, the Cuban Missile thing is a scary thought experiment.
My guess: we would've nuked Canada.

The way China walked all over defenseless Tibet is one of history's great horror stories. And the business interests that control the US won't do a damn thing about it. And now--it may be too late.
It's all about money. The same rabid "anti-commie" Republicans that are more than willing to rattle their sabres all across the world lose their common sense when they're drooling over 10 billion consumers in China...and all that cheap labor.
Fucking bastards.
