Olympics: Years old Tradition or Cover Up?

By Andrew Tier

Olympics, tradition or cover up? Following the peaceful march for independence by the Tibetan people they were violently (Or so it seems.) oppressed and forced to stop by a strong Chinese military force. The world doesn't know what happened there but news has leaked at least 10 are dead.

It hasn't been taken nicely by the people around the world who enjoy freedom of speech, with peaceful protests (Not suppressed by Police forces.) march against it.

With the incoming Olympics it seems politics have finally ruined it. Yesterday the Chinese President, (or Dictator?) announced a statement publicly. Using the Olympics he has requested that the media steer clear of Tibet, as it his problem. Why use decades old sporting competition to announce that media stay clear of Tibet? What have you actually done there? As China demonstrates with their single minded violence, perhaps we are seeing the future of China here? Violent and suppressors?

We at the New York Times would like to state there would be no problem if this wasn't blown up. Shouldn't a country have a free say? China should remember this after centuries of being kicked around by European Colonists and later by Japanese modern samurai's!

And now he draws our attention to other things China 'cares' about such as the environment when there is a bigger problem right under the Presidents nose; the suppresion of a free people.
