Fuck You China

[Bond]

BEIJING - Scores of people were arrested in a traditionally Tibetan area of western China following public calls for the return of Tibet's exiled spiritual leader, the Dalai Lama, reports said Friday.

Also Friday, China moved to tighten its control over Tibetan Buddhism by asserting the communist government's sole right to recognize Buddhist reincarnations of the lamas that form the backbone of the religion's clergy.

All future incarnations of living Buddhas related to Tibetan Buddhism "must get government approval," the official Xinhua News Agency said, citing the State Administration for Religious Affairs.

Reincarnate lamas, known as tulkus, often lead religious communities and oversee the training of monks, giving them enormous influence over religious life in Tibet.

Police and army reinforcements were sent to the town of Lithang in western Sichuan province following the incident Wednesday at an annual horse festival that attracts thousands, according to the overseas monitoring group International Campaign for Tibet and the U.S. government-supported Radio Free Asia.

China is their government. I never said their people, I don't think its unreasonable to shorten The People's Republic of China to just China.

We already did. From Saddam Hussein and the Taliban, respectively. You watch the news much?

In fact, we might have to free Afghanistan again.

Not to turn this into an American political thread - but yes, Strangie, look at Iraq now, it's so free isn't it?

One regime was traded for another.
The only reason it looks a lot better, is because it's your government trying to force their will.

if it was Syria, North Africa, Korea doing the same thing, it would be seen as infringing on peace. It would be an act of world war. They would be a threat.



But yes, right.

Fuck China.
Free Tibet etc.

The problem is, when it comes to Americans, we have and had no reason to fight a real war with them. We're doing what's called a political war, not really trying to defeat an enemy so to speak. If it wasn't a political war, and was an all out one... there wouldn't even be close to as many dead soldiers, and it'd have been over years ago. Playing by the "rules" against an enemy who isn't.

The other countries Typhoid mentioned wouldn't have a political war with anyone, that's why it'd probably be looked down upon more.

Actually it is. They had what is called an election, and they had a great turnout for it, actually. But I'm sure you think it was all faked, anyway, so I won;t bring it up again.

I'm wondering how much you actually know about what is going on in Iraq right now. A few questions:

1) What regime has taken over Iraq? I know what your answer will be, but its funny to watch you put it in print.

2) What type of government is currently in place in Iraq?

3) How exactly is America imposing their will on the Iraqi people, beyond removing Saddam Hussein by force (you know, killer of 1.5 million Iraqis)?

4) What was the percentage of Iraqi's who voted in their first open election?

5) What percentage of civilian deaths have been caused by US military engagements?

I would really love to hear your answers to these, just so you might actually look up any facts about what it going on over there beyond the fantasy sequences that play in your head whenever anyone talks about the Iraq war.

My knowledge on all this is shaky so correct me if I make a mistake. Also taking sources from different areas so numbers might be a little off.

Hussein was in power for 34 years. He originally rose to power legally...as did Hitler...as did Bush. In 34 years he killed 1.5 million Iraqis. On average that would be 62,500 a year.

Since the U.S. occupation the Iraqi civilian body count is between 68,740 and 74,900. That's in four years. So an average of 17,995.

But it isn't the same every year as I'm sure Hussein's rule wasn't either.

* 2003: 12,000 (5,000 if excluding the invasion)
* 2004: 10,500
* 2005: 14,000
* 2006: 24,000

So excluding the initial invasion, more and more people die each year. If it keeps going this way, it'll eventually end up worse than Hussein's regime. And those numbers don't even include Iraqi insurgents or U.S. troops killed.

Lesser of two evils? Maybe for a time. But to suggest that the country is now free and peachy is a gross understatement.

All hail President Gore.
