For those who haven't been following the story, Spielberg quit as artistic consultant to the Olympics because of China's involvement in the Darfur
genocide.
The Chinese buy Sudanese oil and provide the government with weapons to continue their murderous rampage.
This is essentially 'Blood Diamond' all over again, but this time with oil and China/Russia is at fault.
Both those countries have been denying the Security Council to act on Darfur and call it a genocide...You wonder why?
The Hollywood director said he was quitting because Beijing had not done enough to halt the killings in the Darfur, where Khartoum-linked militias
are fighting rebel groups.
China is thought to have more influence over Sudan than any other country because it is a major buyer of oil and supplier of arms to Khartoum.
He is rightfully pissed off at these people.
Not only do they murder their own civilians to build the Olympic stadium, they are complacent in the murder of Darfur civilians as well.
What a great shining standard of hope coming from the Communist dictatorship.
Makes me want to give Hu a high-five more and more...
The Chinese of course spin the Spielberg loss as something better for the Olympics and having nothing to do with Darfur.
That sounds a lot like our country and their media spin.
Maybe that's why Hu and Bush get along so well, they both ran their countries into the ground.
