Tibet & the Olympics...more commentary

The ruses San Francisco's mayor had to use, to let the Olympic flame run through the streets of his city, has drawn attention to the inanity of the moment. China's repression of Tibetans [let's leave aside the Ouighars in Xiajiang for the moment], challenges the stupid old men who run the OIC, and has made Jacques Rugge its president scurrying to Beijing to plead with the Chinese to make a goodwill gesture towards the Dalai Lama. Rather than hold Beijing's feet to the fire of promises that it made when it won the OIC's nod to hold the games in Beijing, they are nickelling and diming, scrambling for a way out of the impasse. China won't give the slightest millemetre. The carrying of the torch brings to public knowledge that it is a ritural of recent vintage; one Hitler's Germany created to tout its strength as a prelude to the 1936 summer games in Berlin. Beijing has simply adopted Nazi tactics but they have backfired. Maybe it's time to withdraw the games to Greece once more? In any way shape or form, the Chinese have given the Olympic games a big, black eye. And no amount of propaganda will turn the world's eyes on their brutual colonial policy in Tibet! Alas the world media have missed a great story by not exposing China's equally brutal policies in Xiajiang which are the same they use against Tibetans, to turn the Ouighars into ersatz Chinese.!
