Chinese troops murder helpless refugees in the shadow of Everest. The story of these refugees needs to bring the spotlight back on to the Chinese occupation of Tibet. An Olympic Games can't be the only time we remember what is happening to these people.

And how many innocent lives have been taken by u.s and uk soldiers everyday in iraq and afghanistan ? The loss of any human life is a tragedy regardless of who does the killing..

I agree, but this isn't about hypocrisy more about a nation thinking it is right to wipe a race of people off the earth. China, like America and the UK have got some seriously bad attitudes towards human rights. Just like in the video of Reuters journalists being killed in Iraq, this is an example of how messed up we have all become.
