That New Independence Fad

What is with this "Free Tibit" crap that is threatening the 2008 Beijing Olympics? I'll tell you what: it's western propaganda to descredit China.

But, why would the US want to do that? It's very simple, the US happens to be a nation that doesn't have a radical separatist group of people screaming for some state indepedence. Ironically, the stronger enemies of the US do.

And what exactly was the catalyst for this incident? A little place called Kosovo. What gave Kosovo the right to indepedence? Nothing. It was an illegal move, per the agreement made by the European Union following the breakup of Serbia/Yugoslavia. And why was the US leading a NATO invasion into Serbia in the late 90s anyways? Because it conviniently covered up the stains on miss Lewenski's dress. So why the big endorsement for sovereignty for Kosovo now from the US? Because Kosovo is a major Eastern European political issue, and where there's Eastern Europe, there's Russia.

When Kosovo declared sovereignty, countries like Russia, China and Spain were pissed because of the illegal implications of it. Why should Russia give up Chechnya when it's proven itself as a great test site for striking cities with tactical missiles and special forces? Why should China give up Tibet when the territory gives the Chinese government key influence in Central Asia?

Apparently there's a bunch of morons, not exclusive to the US, that insinuate unrealistic protests for something that doesn't involve them. What the hell are they trying to prove by attacking the torch, and more specifically, the Olympic Games itself? How hard is it for people to realise that the Olympics are an international event that attempts to unite people of different countries, cultures and biases. When will they learn from the mistakes of boycotting the Moscow Olympics in 1980? Because of stupid political ideals, hundreds of athletes lost the chance to compete for one of the world's greatest honors.
