Global Issues March 14, 2008 The focus of any page dedicated to Global Issues might likely begin with the people of Tibet or Myanmar/Burma, whose plight has become daily fodder for Global Media and who have for so many years been persecuted by the tyrants who control their fate. There are to be sure, countless other Global peoples who face the identical conditions as these two do with much less press and attention.
Once again today, as for the past sixty years, exiled Tibetans were convincingly reminded that they have little reason to hope that their homelands will ever be returned to them by the Chinese Government.
As this is written, Monks have been taken prisoner, some have been killed and Tibetans march in protest in the streets of Lhasa, the capital of Tibet, fully aware that they are outnumbered by the powerful Chinese Army and have virtually no chance of reclaiming their ancestral homes. Read the whole story here:
In response to this latest ugly power move on the Chinese chessboard, the Dali Lama, the US State Department and Human Rights groups around the world have rattled their verbal sabers at them, but China knows that none is really a threat in this Global game.
The correct response by the world to these newest attacks in Tibet must be that it would be unconscionable for any country to consider attending the summer Olympics in China.
"Boycott China" should furthermore be the mantra of the masses for those who have no voices. America needs to get out of the warm, comfy bed with the Chinese and set an moral example for the world. While China is buying our silence with their business, their inferior, dangerous products threaten our children, our pets and our society in general. Can you say RECALL!
In the meantime, America is losing not only the respect of the rest of the world, but her own people as well.
There will be few reference web pages listed here, only updates concerning intolerable and unacceptable Global situations.
