An Olympic Boycott Won't Do Much Good

This is a pragmatic view if you are on the side believing Tibetans within China are not doing relatively well amongst Chinese. Don't forget that the Tibetan exiles - the primary voice you hear in the USA/UK - ran away in a failed 1959 uprising. These were theocrats who ruled Tibet. Yes, using the "liberation" excuse to dominate one group of people is never a good idea. We are wiser than that.

During the Cold War, you obvious only hear from this group. We all know China is all but too clumsy when it comes to explaining herself on the world stage. They haven't explained the Tibet issue well in the West either in the last few decades.

Before your sense for justice and compassion is hijacked by a few, we highly recommend you getting educated on this Tibet topic.
