 Paris Fetes Dalai LamaPosted on Apr 21, 2008
Despite disapproval from French President Nicolas Sarkozy’s party, which is working on improving relations with the Chinese government, Paris Mayor Bertrand Delanoe has championed the Dalai Lama by making the exiled Tibetan spiritual leader an honorary citizen of the City of Light.

Uhh, everybody is perfect except China, eh? Oh, right, I get it…... the white Euro/Anglo world is perfect in every way, uhh!
Well, nothing unusual about that. They are always telling everyone how wonderful they are (“you’re either with us or against us…”).

Frequent this board. Read post with bullshit filter on HIGH.
China is using agents at home and abroad to attack the Dalai Lama and the quest of the peaceful Buddhist of Tibet to gain the autonomy China promised, and to stop the 50 yrs of CAMPAIGN OF CULTURAL GENOCIDE being perpetrated by the Chinese Gov’t.
Free peoples of the world should stand together and make sure this Olympics succeeds only in highlighting China’s empirialistic destruction of Tibet by BOYCOTTING THE OLYMPICS TOTALLY.

Former slaves owner Dalai Lama ordered unrest that resulted the attacks on a handycaped woman, and he is the Nobel *Peace* prize winner, and honored by like minded “leaders” around the world.
After all, these leaders, and their followers, don’t see anything wrong with killing innocent Iraqis or Lebanese by occupiers.

Quote BBC: In a letter to 27-year-old Paralympian fencer Jin Jing, Nicolas Sarkozy told her she had shown “outstanding courage” in the face of the assault…”
Such outstanding hypocrisy from the French Neocons that they make the DL an honoray citizen but NOT Jing Jin who was the victim of his Tibetans’ crimes. She only gets a letter “telling her” what is far from the truth while the French authorities continue their disgusting campaign of “slapping China’s face” as their media had bragged, uhh.
The reality was that “the angel in a wheelchair” and her two helpers, a blind man and another woman, were left undefended as the blue-suited “flame attendants” were arrogantly forbidden to accompany them. She was not attacked once but at least three times and still little was done to improve security or to protect her!
How sad for her to suddenly find how alone a person can be in a strange country…...
“Keep smiling,” the girl in wheelchair told herself despite the risk of Tibetan separatists trying to grab the Olympic torch…...
“Along the Seine River, at first one person tried to take the torch from me. Then further down the route other people hit me and also tried to snatch the torch,” Jin told sohu.com during an interview two days after the event.
“I managed to protect the torch with my body. At times the protestors got so close that I had to bow my head down and clutch the torch tighter to prevent them from getting at it.”
“They even pulled my hair,” Jin told sohu.com reporters, adding her chin was hurt during the heated physical confrontations…... http://www.chinadaily.com.cn/olympics/torch/2008-04/09/content_6603977.htm pages 1-4
