| "The current French President himself works the media like never before, having close friends who own most of the major media. Tibet is soup of the day, perfect for stirring controversy and increasing readership." France should be careful what it wishes for. Paris seems to have a massive, bloody riot at least twice a year, and it seems rather hypocritical for Sarkozy or any other French official to criticize China for quelling riots, when French gendarme police are cracking skulls of young Muslim boys in the Paris suburbs every few months. Did the French show restraint in quelling their own riots? No, apparently not. In fact, an old friend of mine in Paris thinks that another French riot may be about to arise-- the young Muslim and African youths are again growing very furious about conditions in the poor French suburbs, and there's been a lot of racism in France recently. In fact, about 200 Muslim graves, of French Muslim World War I veterans, were recently desecrated! And the French have the nerve to criticize China? Especially with this recent grave desecration incident, there's about to be another big riot in France. Let's see how Sarkozy and the other French officials respond to it-- will they use "restraint"? Will be interesting to see. If anything, Chancellor Angela Merkel in Germany is even worse. While the German people tend to be more fair-minded about China, Merkel herself tries to claim moral superiority. Yet German troops have been implicated in a number of atrocities against the Afghan people in Afghanistan, while Merkel's German troops continue to brutalize both Serbs and Albanians in Kosovo. When faced with criticism over these incidents, Merkel dismisses the critics as "uninformed." Merkel, like Sarkozy, is a hypocrite, since she herself is quite uninformed about the Chinese whom she so freely criticizes. She deserves our contempt, and it will be wonderful when both leaders are forced out of power in the humiliation that they abundantly deserve. |
