Because there is NO massacre! lol. by the way, the whole world is what? would you be so kind as to give me the links to articles or protests that are NOT orchestrated and participated by a few Tibetans/white skinheads? Talkiing the world huh? Oh, I always forgot to add that some Indians also would like to think that they are part of the riots. Good for you!

There seems to be no massacre because of the virtual gag on press freedom. Does China have the guts to allow independent press reporting from Tibet or anywhere else in China? When the speaker of the US Congress and the President of France are talking about it, that's definitely not 'few tibetans and white skinheads'. And don't forget, France is assuming presidency of the EU in two months - so Beijing might soon be facing an European boycott that could terribly snowball out of control. I think the basic issue here is not the violations of rights - these happen even in the US. However, the lack of transparency and stonewalling of the truth is what is unkind. Remember that Gorbachev's Glasnost and Perestroika signalled the downfall of not just the USSR but the entire Warsaw Pact bloc. Beijing - are you listening?
