Couldn't agree more, Howard. It's no wonder that large parts of the world would like to do nasty things to the people's of the west when our governments are so very selective about who they choose to 'help' (if you can call the indirect deaths of 80,000+ iraqi civilians 'help'). I suspect that if either Bali or Tibet contained large oil resources, our governments would be in there in no time at all - all in the name of 'protecting human rights'. Yeah, right...
Personally I'd like to see a few countries boycott the Beijing Olympics but - let's face it - that aint gonna happen 'cause we wouldn't want to annoy the chinese and jeopardise those lovely export contracts with have with them...
