I can understand to some degree why people mock the US government for
making demands given the current US world image, but I also find it
interesting that these people who mock the US government refuse to
acknowlege that there might be real issues here. Tibet *is* a problem.
It's not all harmonious but the apologists won't admit it. The junta
in Burma is causing terrible things to happen to their people but the
apologists can only mock the US. They won't even admit that the junta
is bad. Holy crap!
