Revolt in Lhasa

Forty-nine years of brutal occupation of Tibet by the Communist Chinese haven't slaked Tibetans thirst for freedom. Today's revolt in Lhasa has taken a broad turn against China's imperialism and its choking to death of the Tibetan culture, language, personality, and soul. The new element in the uprising is the burning and trashing to Chinese owned businesses. The commissars in Beijing have forgotten their Maoist texts. They have behaved towards Tibet in a school book explanation the great helmsman Mao used to describe in his writings and his talks. Oppression breeds resistance and the mild mannered Tibetan monks have risen up in anger to proclaim their birthright and identity and autonomy. The capitalist roaders in Beijing have not grasped the message of the Dalai Lama who is calling for autonomy for his people in China not independence, but these silly men with tailor cut suits and expensive ties and slick hair cuts have dismissed his words out of hand. It is not good for China, they think, and how wrong they are. If they cannot suppress the will for freedom in Tibet which the Communist Party of China with its army hold with an iron fist, how do they think they can mate the aspiration of Uighars in Xingjiang. Again the arrogant dismiss history and the obvious facts and take as the French say 'midi pour 14 heures'...or more pithily they take chamber pots for the globes of lamp posts. Will Beijing learn an age old lesson? No it won't...Now on the eve of the Beijing summer Olympics China is going to bite its nails over the waves of protesters who will shout 'Free Tibet'...they couldn't stop the petite Bork from Iceland who shouted that at the end of her concert in Beijing. Let China lose face over and over and over again for its stupidity and imperialism.
