the china question
by Ravi Grover on Mar 28, 2008 08:00 PM   Permalink | Hide replies

i'm sure living in china is fine, but that shouldn't take away from the fact that china supplies weapons to burma's military junta (which killed civilians and monks last year), supplies money to sudan's government (which is committing genocide to black africans), and refuses to allow anyone to see what is going on in tibet. clearly there is a problem going on? it's a shame that the indian goverment is too cowardly to criticize china's treatment of tibetans.

United States-champion of democracy and the free world, numerous European nations, USSR/Russia supplied both conventional and non-conventional (chemical, biological) weapons to Iraq under Saddam Hussein over 20 years ago. The US administration back then knew and didn't care Saddam used the chemical weapons on the Kurds. A decade or so later, Saddam doesn't want to be a puppet anymore thus becoming useless to the Western nations. So starting with Bush Senior, then Bush Junior and his cronies made up crap excuses to invade his country and execute him. Not that Saddam is a nice guy and doesn't deserve a hanging. But it shouldn't come as a result of interference by the US and its little allies. How come there aren't more complaints about this? Bush/Cheney and its thugs twisting things so "enemy combatants" at Gitmo are still caged up without charges after how many years now? And Guantanamo Bay itself belongs to Cuba in the first place. Why is the US occupying that piece of land?

In regards to Sri Lanka and its Tamil rebels. India has stepped up arming the Sri Lanka govt. Some people, not all, side with the Tamils and believe that they are being discriminated against and oppressed by the mainstream Sri Lankans. If so, why is India supplying arms to the Sri Lanka government to help quash the Tamil Tigers?

Bottom line, every nation/tribe/society past present and future have its pros and cons. Just leave others alone doing their thing and take care of your own.

well said BUT the important factor is from 1950 till date your CPP has killed 1.3 million tibetans who on earth has given the authority to take the life of others, you should not hurt others but you are killing people many of them are children whose only fault is they are born as neighbours to the chinese, Repent you will definetly pay the price. Again i repeat from the President of your country to the last infant cleanse yourselves mantaly and let others live peacefully.
