Why would the US boycott the Beijing Olympics? Why does anybody give a **** about Tibet?

Also, I think that China will ignore any points that the US trys to make about human rights because the US record is seen to be so bad on that front by most other countries.

I don't give a fuck about the president in China because I've free Tibet and Pussy on Mtv.

Assfactor 4 discussion go!

because china was a signing partner in the UN charter in 1945 then reclaimed tibet in 1950 by sending 40 000 troops against 5000. tibet had declared independence in 1911 just prior to the end of dynastic rule in the nation and a later civil war that lasted 23 years.

it's a big freaking mess and idealists from the industrialized world just can't seem to handle how 'unfair' the real world happens to be.

so now we get a bunch of morons trying to extinguish the olympic torch in order to get back at china for having used force to reclaim one of its former territories before most of these protesters were born.... can someone explain the logic in that to me?

i wouldnt see a problem with them doing it...
