Tibetan protesters

Thousand of protesters have been gathered for weeks in New Delhi to protest the 'crack-down' of the Chinese on the people of Tibet. These people are pleading with the world to help stop the torture and murder of their people..., pleading for the very essence of their peaceful ancient culture.

Tibet, which once existed as an independent buffer state for more than 2000 years between the two Asian Giants, India and China, was invaded by Communist China in 1945. By 1959, China illegally occupied the whole of Tibet. This resulted in the escape of H. H. the Dalai Lama into exile in India and followed by some 85,000 Tibetans.

Tibetans have suffered great atrocities and destruction under the Chinese occupation. Over 1.2 million Tibetans died and 6,000 religious and cultural institutions, monuments and national heritage were destroyed.

"Hello America. It's me, your president, your commander-in-chief of the world. And I'm here in my ranch here in Crawford Texas just to take a little r & r, ya know, relax.

I'm growin' out my soul patch, playin' a little Frisbie golf with Condie Rice and Dick Cheney. Having a good time, but still keepin' my eye on the ball.

"And there is an issue that has come to my attention. The issues of the so called 'global warmings' that are happening on the planet.

For centuries the rays of the sun have warmed the surface of the Earth's crust. And, uh, apparently those rays are intensifying in such a way that it's increasing lava flows. And ah.

"CUT."

"I'm not gonna lie to ya. I don't know what the hell I'm talkin' about..."

"Your Attention Please.

Thank you for choosing Earth as your planetary vehicle.

We hope you enjoy the many wonderful features of this planet as you hurtle through the cosmos.

Please note however:

That in the event of continued inaction in the face of global warming...

"George W. likes to claim that global terrorists are out to attack America because 'they hate our freedoms.' But we're learning that it's really the Bushites themselves who hate America's freedoms.

"Retired Army Colonel Ann Wright, and one of America's leading peace activists Medea Benjamin, have recently felt the bullying hate of the Bush Regime. Both women had been very vigorous practitioners of our freedom to speak out in opposition to government policies using those freedoms to protest the war in Iraq."
