Whats your opinion on the Tibeten protesters, targetting the Olympic torch relay?

Question

I think it is awful what china is doing to them, but in order to get people to support them they should protest in a more sensible way than attacking a woman in a wheelchair in france holding the flame!

Answer 1

Its a great way to get your message out but attacking people just isnt the way. But diplomacy don't seem to be taking its course at the moment. people vent their frustrations through this way. It's also a difficult thing being pressured by a huge economic power in the region, i mean look at taiwan too. If people are in support of the government that will govern these separate territories, then China should let them be, rather thatn having all these violence occur in the first place. I mean just let it be a peaceful resolvement just like the Velvet Revolution in the then Czechoslovakia. Sometimes its just hard to blame the people when they are suppressed in such extreme and probably it was only just this one insane guy who was too emotional about it and attacked the wheelchair woman, which should only be blamed on that particular person and not the whole Tibetan supporters instead
