Chris, it's not a matter of happiness or sadness. A country, any country in fact, should have the rights to defend its sovereignty, communist system or not. The Tibet issue is very complex and should be debated separately. It's only more confusing to debate it with other issues, such as Olympics, democracy, human rights. Every issue should be debated on its own merits, not muddled and confused with other issues. But too often, you see people conveniently mix issues with hidden agenda, which is totally wrong and ill-intended.

My own view on Tibet is that Tibet is in her best interest to be part of China as an autonomous region. It's like the Native Indian's region/culture/governance model within the framework of the USA. They should have own rule of laws, religious freedom, commerce, government, and police, but not independence. Of course, I don't expect everyone can agree with me. Much like not everyone can agree that Native Indian should be part of the US.

Regards,

G.
