Here's another false dichotomy;

either we support the actions of China in Tibet and are not called "racist americans" by angry pro-China protesters,

OR

we support (or ignore) the effects of CIA involvement in the "Free Tibet" movement and denounce China's actions in Tibet.

This is another ideological trap created by the false dichotomy of left vs. right, capitalist vs. communist, China vs. Tibet, etc.. and only serves to further escalate and divide people..

How are the rights of the people of Tibet addressed (regardless of the previous centuries of imperial China's earlier occupations of Tibet) without enabling the U.S. CIA to use this unjust occupation by China of Tibet's lands to their advantage. We cannot actually beleive that the CIA is helping the people of Tibet, like the CIA helped the Taliban in Afganistan against the invasion by the Soviet Union? Neither the Soviet Union nor the CIA funded Taliban were good influences for the Afgani people, though the presence of two opposing bully empires (U.S. vs U.S.S.R.) caused a great deal of damage to the less powerful Afgan people..

What are the claims that China makes to justify their ongoing occupation of Tibet other than "Tibet belonged to China even before the U.S. existed." and "The U.S. government engages in far worse acts of political terrorism and thus nobody who is a citizen of the U.S. has the moral right to complain about what China does in Tibet?"

Some simple phrases apply here;

Two wrongs do not make a right.

My enemy's enemy is still NOT my friend.

How about this, if there are certain U.S. corporations (Wal-mart, etc..) profiting from virtual sweatshop slave labor in China and BOTH of our governments (U.S./China) are encouraged by this trade relationship, protesters expose, protest and boicott all the plastic junk coming here from China being sold at Wal-mart stores. We will not interfere with China's Olympics, but we certainly won't feel obligated to buy any more petroleum derived plastic crap from Chinese sweatshops sold at Wal-mart stores. No mob of pro-China sympathizer thugs or other scare tactics will result in silencing a legitimate critique of China's actions in Tibet AND actions taken by the CIA in Tibet to further escalate tensions. We will continue to critique the numerous illegal and unethical actions taken by the U.S. government throughout the world, including CIA escalation tactics in Darfur/Sudan..

When U.S. corporate media uses deceit about US/Israeli support of Darfurians against the Sudanese government funded by China, we get a one-sided story based upon ignorance of underlying issues, especially petroulem reserves in Darfur that BOTH the U.S. and China want control over, and BOTH are willing to arm one tribe (Darfurians vs. Janjaweed) against the other as food and water resouces dwindle and tensions come to the surface. This is an engineered conflict taking place between the U.S./Israeli intelligence operatives (supporting Darfurians) and the Chinese support of the Sudanese government in Khartoum (supporting Janjaweed), and what people in the U.S. hear about is one-sided and neglects to mention important info, such as U.S./Israeli trainings and weapons support of the Darfurians is escalating the conflicts and worsening tensions..

Exposing the CIA involvement in Tibet is crucial to understand how other actions taken by the CIA (like helping the Kurds against Saddam, then pulling out and leaving the Kurds at the mercy of Saddam's army) that pretend to help an oppressed group yet do so only when politically expedient, giving a horrible reality to the term "fair weather friend", as when it is no longer in the interest of the U.S., the support is pulled out. This is a likely scenario with Tibet as when the CIA is ordered to patch up trade relations with China, they will abandon the Tibetan people faster than you can say "Saddam killed Kurds left unprotected by U.S..". With regards to the current U.S. occupation of Iraq, the greater "prize" is the petroleum privatization act that makes an indefinite occupation seem likely. .

Then we have the reprecussions against the Tibetan people from China when the CIA withdraws their support, and the U.S. looking the other way as they did when Saddam became our ally against the Ayatollah in Iran. While Saddam killed thousands of Kurds with U.S. made weapons, special envoy Donald Rumsfeld (1984) was willing to shake his hand and offer him more weapons, so long as he attacked Iran with them as well. The label of "genocide" against the Kurds only became audible when Saddam tried to switch currencies to the Euro and further devalue the U.S. dollar in the petroleum markets..

To sum up; The reality of the CIA trying to "help" the "Free Tibet" protesters doesn't make China's occupation of Tibet any more or less legitimate than any other illegal and unjust occupation (U.S. of Iraq, Israel of Palestine, Britain of Ireland, etc..), it only further complicates the situation and discredits any legitimate attempts at peaceful relations and encouraging a peaceful withdrawal of China's military from Tibet..
