no 'americans' (aka, citizens of the US for Oil) commenting here???!!!! Ah yeah, they are all fuming because Absolute Vodka put California and Texas back inside Mexico borders!

WAR!

WAR to Sweden and to Mexico! Go cowboys, desktop soldiers, go attack Sweden and Mexico.

In the mean time, who cares about Tibet, no Oil, no care. How typical. Imbeciles and ignorants

When some people claimed that 1.2M Tibetans were killed, I have to tell them, yes, 1.2M died, but they were not men or women though, they were semen; when some people thought Tibet was an independent country, then I have to tell them, maybe it was, but that was before the concept of a country was born; when some people believed that the criminals who burned the innocent girls to death and beat civilians to death only wanted their voices to be heard, I have to tell them, yes, their voices were heard, but won't be anymore.

100,000 people lining....Apr 9th, 2008 - 15:31:30

Soon this so called news would be proven wrong, along with many crazy numbers thrown around unchecked by the media such as 1.3 mil death(G, I wonder where the current tibetan come from...the graves in 1949 the total tibtan population is between 1.5 and 2 mil), 140 death in recent violent protest (G, the FT pips must have an agency just devoted to counting death, I wonder if they count the innocent han people killed)
Here is a real number for you morons the tibetan popu has its sharpest increase during the PRC era (Roc also had sovereignty over tibet, so is the Qing, somewhat the ming, definietly the yuan). The population tripled to 5 mil. most lived with privelege and better welfare than han people. There is no reservation in tibet, because most lived where they used. There is no massive relocation of popul as in USSR (chechenya, jews, and kasack pop). If the cn gov is as ruthless as they had propagated, then i am pretty sure the tibetan would become the likes of native americans, ainus, shans, siberians, aborigines where the population received a 90 percent decrease.

Free TibetApr 10th, 2008 - 05:47:26

Over the last 60 years over 1.2 million Tibetans have been massacred in cold blood by the Chinese military. Why has the world remained silent? Why?

China's human rights abuses are 'staggering': the detention of hundreds of thousands of people, including political activists, for 'reeducation' programs, and forced labor camps; and the liberal use of the death penalty in China -- including for political prisoners -- which makes China the site of 8 of every 10 government administered executions carried out in the world!

It is clear that the Communists can't be trusted at all and they have a bag full of tricks to fool not only Tibetans but the people of China with a state-controlled press. The solution is a free Tibet. There is no doubt that a sovereign Tibet would be a savior state not only for Tibetans but for all ethnic groups of China who have nowhere to go if they disagree with the CCP. A free Tibet would be such a free democratic heaven and haven.
