Maybe if all those Olympic Torches running around the world weren't such a major cause of Global Warming,the protesters won't be so rightously upset.

I've had some interesting discussions with Chinese on many sides of the fences. Most of it regarded Taiwan/Formosa/ROC, but conversation sometimes strayed to Tibet.
They view the matter as an internal Chinese problem, and nobody outside of their own borders has any business getting involved. It is also irrelevant to them if the people in Taiwan or Tibet do not want to be Chinese. Self determination is not a concept that is easily understood or accepted in the PRC.
There is also some level of dislike by the PRC of the US for our involvement in Tibet back in the 50's.

Steve,

There is some level of dislike by the PRC of the US for anything you can name. IMHO Tibet isn't worth messing with.

Ron! How COULD you say such a thing!!!
A religious icon adored by Hollywood and the MSM; poor, disadvantaged tribal peoples being opressed by a ruthless regime and absolutely NO strategic U.S. interests add up to a war the left can get behind with gusto (as long as nobody gets hurt)! Same thing in Darfur! These REQUIRE US intervention!
Now, Iraq...
Now THATS different!!!

Its a MAD, MAD, MAD, MAD World!!

Well as long as there is a good reason. What do they have that we need?
