The other side of the Tibet issue

The Southwest United States will never be given back to Mexico. The separatists wearing their little Aztlan t-shirts can take them off, roll them up, and smoke 'em. The entire nation will never be returned to the Indians. Florida will never again be Spanish territory. I doubt if the UK will grant independence to Scotland, Wales, or Northern Ireland. Will Mexico dissolve itself and revert to the days of Aztec and Mayan sovereignty? Will European Union nations disband and declare themselves territories of the Neanderthal?

China has an oppressive, communist (forgive the redundancy) government, and I'd like to see everyone boycott the Olympics. This does not, however, change how countries view their territories -- especially the pathetic governments like the Chicomms. It doesn't matter what Richard Gere says. We have to constantly remind ourselves that the world of our dreams is not the world we live in. Liberals are born with a gene that prevents this.

If anyone thinks demonstrations will impact the Chicomms on the Tibet issue, think about China's stance on the US supporting Taiwan's bid for independence -- they threatened to nuke Los Angeles. Even though a lot of people wouldn't mind that happening, it's probably not in our best interest.
