As for the trivia question my guess would be a jar of jelly beans .
Here are a couple of AP threads that deal with the Tibet issue.
NZ government response
Tibet not short on natural resources
China has gotten away with the occupation because the Tibetan people are culturally a more peaceful then other nations and culturals . That is why
the CIA has never bothered to try and supply arms to any of the native Tibetan interdependence groups.

I would not disagree with you xpert11 on the peace nature of the Tibetan people but the rest of the world could have exercised much more pressure on China. As I ranted on the show, the rest of world has just let China get away with this invasion, and if the Olympics can be used to highlight this grave injustice then I am very happy for this to be done.
While I accept that Tibet does have natural resources, The US does not see a huge need for the resources that lie beneath Tibet, so is not that interested in righting this huge wrong.

the US government knows how important it is to invade other smaller countries. it strikes fear into the rest of the world of just how crazy you are. so..china invading tibet? yawn...business as usual.

Again, you have hit this one on the head. We have nothing to hit China with. Currently it seems the world needs China more than China cares about what we say.
And who is up for a boycott of Chinese made products? It could be done but you would have to pay far more for clothes and electronics and I guess most people are more interested in cheap goods that the moral position of the country that makes them.

Well a boycott Chinese made products campaign might be more feasible in other parts of the world . From reports from relatives concerning there
travels it seems that in The Netherlands the likes of clothes are still made locally .
Maybe another member could confirm this ?
If you are wondering why I used the term feasible then check out this article
BTW good choice of guest now I am certainly looking forward to the next show.
It would be a good idea to seek members questions for guests
in a seperate thread to ensure maxim exposure.
