China's Disgust

China is calling the disruption of the Olympic Torch Route by protestors "disgusting" behavior.

And yet, just last week China was killing and arresting Tibetan monks who had the temerity to protest China's rule of their country.

Guess which behavior I find disgusting. (Hint: the latter.)

This is the way it is with bullies and dictatorships: the person or entity that is doing the bullying (or in this case, the killing) doesn't want to be called on it. And, if they are, they just get angry and try to pin the blame on the messenger.

In this case, I think China is being such a wonderful role model for other countries that would like to host the Olympics in the future. Not.

Of course, our president has not cancelled his trip to attend the opening ceremony of these Olympics. That might cause China to label the USA hypocritical (*cough* Iraq *cough*). And we couldn't have that.
