I tend to find the coverage on Tibet rather offensive - why should people disproportionately care about that region, when the U.S. and other western powers have so many colonies - historical and contemporary - which have much worse human rights problems?

That said, the ignorant view that many leftists have, that because this is a Chinese issue, they are somehow not imperial, or that Tibet shoudln't be freed, is really disgusting. I don't understand how people can be for Iragi, Palestinian and Ossetian freedom, yet oppose the same when it comes to China / Tibet. Pure hypocrisy.
