The Chinese care very much for Tibet, even as an independent as they wish it to be, but it's not so politically easy for them to let it go...... most Tibetans want to be a part of China ...[text shortened]... e now playing it fair. I'll say that!!! The Chinese are playing it fair!! I said it! 😉

The Tibetans are the least threatening of any people on the planet today and harm the ecology the least of any, are no threat to any countries economy, and yet the Chinese have singled them out because they needed a dump site for all their radioactive waste. Its just fine to hate Tibet and all its people and any animals making their home there, but how ...[text shortened]... breath, and yet we want to hold the olympics there. Is there any logic in defending the Chinese.
As for the air malarky. What a joke! The air in LA is more dangerous then Bejing and Shanghai put together! You're having a laugh!
The olympics are a far cry from what they were intended to be. The games were militaristic in nature. Now we have water ballet. ping pong, etc. What a joke. If some country is good at something, we make it an event. The only ones interested in some of these events are the partiscipants families, (some of them) and the ticket sellers. The olympics are the biggest joke going. And for the record, I really like sports.
