Just an observation, but all of the calls for Bush to boycott the opening of the Olympic games kind of ring hollow. Where does the U.S. get off on criticizing China for its human rights violations and oppression of Tibet when we are so dirty? What China is doing and has done to Tibet is wrong without question but there are some serious questions with respect to human rights and proper behavior that the George Bush and company need to answer before they get on their high horse over Tibet.
How do we get off firing Tomahawk cruise missiles into Somali villages whenever we feel like it? Did Somalia attack us? Are we at war with them.
How do we justify holding people at Guantanamo without the right of Habeas Corpus?
How do we explain the 108 people who have died in detention? In a large number of these cases, the deaths have been ruled a homicide and connected to torture.
That's just the tip of the iceberg.
