I found an article in Reuters today. It was titled: China says unity at stake over Tibet. In this article Chinese officials were saying the dispute with Tibet derives from "National unity" rather than human rights, or religious/ethnic conflict. They continued by saying that they were "hurt" by the fact that the European nations were considering not attending the Opening Ceremonies.
I think that it is very interesting that the Chinese are so quick to criticize others for their condemnation. They believe that other countries aren't looking at all the facts, and their actions are justifiable. This is ridiculous that the Chinese not only are doing horrible things to the Tibetan people, but also are surprised and "hurt" that other nations look down upon them for their actions. Do you think that is is outrageous? Any other comments?

I completely support the Olympics, and I think that they are one of the most unifying events the world experiences, but the fact that this year the unity is being broken up by one nation's decisions and beliefs is frustrating. The Olympics is about bringing the world together, but in reality it's slowly tearing it apart. I support the Olympics, Tibet and people's opinion, but I do not support an oppressive Chinese government.
