Speaking of Bloody Hands…

Just after we posted our previous blog post, “China’s Bloody Hands,” we learned that today China blocked an emergency Security Council resolution on Burma. The New York Times reports,

In response to the violence, the United Nations Security Council called an emergency meeting on Wednesday to discuss the crisis, but China blocked a Council resolution, backed by the United States and European nations, to condemn the government crackdown.

China, of course, wants to protect its fellow dictatorship and ally. It also wants to avoid, under the guise of “noninterference,” a similar resolution in the event of future demonstrations in Tibet similar to what happened in 1987, 1988, 1989 and in the 1990s (not such an impossible thought).

Shame on China. This is the country that will host the world at the Olympics in ten months???
