China Strikes Back.

Via China Goes On Offensive In Its Crackdown On Critics:

Chengdu, China (AHN) - The Chinese government issued a statement on Sunday decrying criticisms of the crackdown in Tibet, calling United States House Speaker Nancy Pelosi "habitually bad tempered," while accusing the Dalai Lama of causing the pro-independence protests in Tibet...

Hmm. That Dalai Lama guy has great powers indeed if he can make people rise up to China from India. What was it? Telepathy? Astral traveling? How, exactly, did the Dalai Lama do this?

Is there a special insurrection Buddhist dance the world is not aware of?

And what, exactly, is bad about pro-independence protests? And if this is all a big misunderstanding, why is the news being censored? Giggles? Or is it that any recordings of the Dalai Lama astral traveling and inciting pro-independence protests some form of China National Security Issue?

Seriously - they'd be better off accusing Brad Pitt of being the cause of the pro-independence protests in Tibet. At least his superhuman powers have been documented on film. OK. Sorry. that wasn't serious.

I think they must have hired a Western PR agency to actually try this. It reeks of all the insane subterfuge marketers try to get away with (and largely do!).

Xinhua accused China's critics of wanting to smear China's reputation.

No, no, China's critics don't have to smear China's reputation. China is doing it all by itself. And as far as the US and EU supporting the Olympics despite the outcry about this issue... well, what can we expect from the groups that wander around, pay the UN no mind if it is inconvenient and go around invading countries looking for magic carrots?

The world is an asylum. The warden has been on vacation for a few millenia. Think about it - we've reached a point where Buddhists are becoming militant. All Tibetans have tried to do for centuries is be left alone. China wanders in, says 'mine', destroys stuff. Sort of like Iraq, but the Muslims are Buddhists and the US is China. Something like that.

Has anyone heard from the warden yet?

Dalai Lama and Nancy Pelosi

I think that she should put a sock in it...this one is going to start a war...real soon...she has a big mouth and she shouldn't be talking to anyone...she doesn't know what she is talking about anyway..and the person that sent her there should be red the riot act! She will definitely put up walls that we took a long time to take down! And she definitely does not know how to talk to heads of countries!!!

Talking to world leaders

I dunno. I don't know what was said, or how it was said, or the circumstances. That really doesn't matter to me. As far as how to treat the heads of countries - well, if the heads are detached from the bodies, what is the point of being polite?
