US doesn't decide where the Olympics are held. International Olympic Committee does.

[Super_17]

Did anyone notice in London when the torch-runner was getting mugged? They were trying to put the torch out.

[The Electron Zone]

Yes, they have a backup torch. lol

Nice post, I like it, a lot.

As for the tibetans, they started the violence. It's there fault. Too bad for them, you kill cops/innocent people and set fire to buildings, you pay the price.

Are you serious or are you just attempting to bring in some comedic relief?

If you believe that the Tibetans started the unrest in that area, you are beyond kidding yourself. China has been pulling shit with them for decades. Also, not once has a Tibetan monk killed an innocent person. On the contrary though, Chinese military officers have fired on peaceful protesters. Also, they had Chinese soldiers dress up like monks and do crazy stuff to make the Tibetans look bad. In conclusion, if you think China isn't to blame, you are, indeed, a moron.

Question is will and/or when will Tibet become free and will they change their name.

[Empathy]

Tibet doesn't necessarily want to be a free nation. They just want to be a free autonomy out of China's control. But they know they can't flourish as a country by themselves; there'd be almost no economy.

Tibet reminds me of Kashmir.
