Update: CBC interview-Dali Lama wants Olympics to proceed acknowledges China is changing and did not discuss riot.
MEDIABUSTER SATIRE of views on protests, Richard Gere's propaganda machine like his anti-china movie, trendy causes and acceptable anti-china political propaganda events, nationalism...it divides us. When rioting Tibetans are misled to attack and single out one culture, they are racist and blind with hate.
I'm neither right or left,
the exploitation of
poor people ANYWHERE and the
ignoring of basic needs & services
is something everyone should
STAND UP FOR in thier own backyard first. Walmart will be happy to make .50 cent gold buddha statues and t-shirts in Tibet! See this for 1 Americans viewpoint: http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=6573660441809242121

A view of the rioting, shades of wto protests here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b4yZvMWGHTI&feature=related
In germany ethnic people's shops and individuals were beaten after being branded bad, have the rioting anti-chinese Tibet people read about ww2 and ethnic hate and the victimizing of innocent citizens like chinese store owners as inherintly wrong?
THIS FIRST CBC TV CLIP: a look at the Tibet coverage by western media and obviously funded/planned protest event in San Francisco. Also who is playing politics with the Olympics? no chinese viewpoint, buddhist monks are famous for shrine vs shrine violent clashes not all peaceful as some may espouse.
I talked to immigrants here from China who are shocked by the western "trouble makers" ignorance of china and the Tibet region when other more serious issues exist globally. THE SECOND CLIP: A local peace parade in Vancouver incl. COPE banner :o) and a few Mohawk flags. No media helicopter co-ordination but peaceful police escort and cool bikes.
In San Francisco it must be nice to be able to laugh and joke after tresspassing, defeating all terrorist security and protesting for a vacation spot that is in an Olympic hosting country.
.
The Canadian protester was not charged,
CBC news finally clearly stated that Tibetan's did ethnicly attack chinese residents killing several in the rioting. They even showed monks in robes bum-rushing chinese troops! not so peaceful. Some ignorant westerners will support any cause for a free sticker or coffee social event.

the worst Evil on Earth: Poverty.
If I cannot feed my family, not becos that I am not hardworking, but becos there is no job.
that is an Evil.
China is changing, and to cater to 1.3 Billion population enormous economy, it needs gradual changes. We see that China has become more of a capitalist country in the last 10 years, pulling more poor out of poverty than any nations in the shortest span.
Yet, pple are impatient. things will not change immediate.
