Olympic Torch Protests

Three cheers for all those committed souls protesting more or less peacefully along the route of the Olympic Torch. China is a swaggering power on the world stage fed by the West's insatiable appetite for consumer tat, and it will come back to bite us in the end. China needs a dose of humility so it can be shown the way to contribute to world peace instead of promoting conflict. And a bit of assistance from genuine people power is a good way of helping China appreciate the error of its ways.
