  China could have avoided all these troubles in Tibet if it had tried to reach a resolution with the Dalai Lama any time in the last 50 years. The Lama hiself does not advocate independence for Tibet, only the freedom of Tibet from Han colonization, and the freedom of religion…

  Let's hope that the anti-CCP demonstrations can be just that, law abiding but highly visible.

  This whole mess should have been foreseen when the CCP was given the games in the first place.

  A "surviving" Kamikaze doesn't have much standing accusing others of being spineless.

  Taken as a three-way race, and viewed as a comparison purely of politics and policies, I honestly think that McCain is the best candidate, if he can stay true to his bi-partisan social liberal tendencies he has shown to date, that have made the right of the Republican establishment such…

  I'd say that a vote for McCain is a vote for a new war with Iran.

  Why are there 100,000+ troops in Iraq, and only a few thousand troops in Afghanistan, backed up in equal numbers by Canadian and French troops in the REAL war on terror?

  I'd say that…

  I can understand why NZ or any country would want a trade deal with China, but this timing means that NZ is simply being used by China to deflect other criticism directed at the country in the global media.

  Whether Helen Clarke intends it or not, NZ is being prostituted…

  I'll qualify - I don't condone illegal forms of demonstration - and physical violence and assault and/or trespassing comes under that.

  However, large, visible, noisy demonstrations on a public street are perfectly fine with me, and the Olympics is a great opportunity to show this, just like cricket and rugby…

  apecNetworks - again, you have mentioned that there is a "geopolitics" aspect to this, but I really don't see it, and you have been vague about explaining what it is. Since you believe that time will show you to be correct, why don't you elaborate on that?

  1) Will China…
