However, you must have noticed it wasn't very many French who were protesting but only a few, just like in Tibet, there weren't alot of people protesting only some, so you can't judge all the French by a handful. Although, you might argue that the president himself said he might boycott the games. Although I am all for free speech and believe they have a right to speak out about anything they disagree with, they have no right to be violent or to threaten other people so carrying signs is one thing while attacking people is another. I also think it was quite unfair of the press to blame China for cracking down on the protesters. Any country would do the same. We had tanks in the city of Detroit during the race riots there in the 60's. We were all horrified but it was necessary to stop the destruction. On the other hand, I think there is something that is making some Tibetan monks unhappy and the government should try to find out what that is and see if they can't make it better. Perhaps they could give them more freedom to worship the way they see fit. Anyway, it sure points out the big difference in the way the West sees China and the way China sees herself. I think the press did a disservice to the issue and I am glad the Chinese pointed that out however you must admit, China only tells there side of the story too, but it doesn't brag about unbiased reporting like the western press does. By the way, I still don't see your blogroll where I can find the articles that you read. I see your archives and all that you wrote but not which articles you read. Sorry if I am just not seeing something that's before my eyes, but...

I must point out one thing though, this is a Sports reading class blog, so you must write about something you have read. The idea is to keep a reading journal of what you have read, so although I like reading your comments on the topics you have chosen, I don't see any article that you have read. You should list the http address of the article either in the summary or in your blogroll. That way I'll know which articles you are reading. Thanks, Maggie Hi Angus,
