It's unfair to say you're fighting for the good of some people, for example, people of Tibet, while all you really want is to screw up somebody else (for example, China).

I'm not talking about "regular" people here, I just don't like politicians. They don't give a fuck about Tibet.

exactly. Any powers that be who do end up boycotting or supporting "Tibet" are only do so to get at the Chinese government. It is a tool for their real agendas.

That's indifference of those who can really help kill me...

...Tibet is free, not a part of Chinese Chiefs...

I bet French and German premiers don't really give a fuck about Tibet and its people. Same goes for other politicians around the world. This all mess is more anti-China than pro- Tibet.

surely you understand why san francisco was picked to be the entry point for the torch into the US.

The torch was never meant to run around the country. San Francisco was the only city U.S. to have a torch run.
Maybe they picked S.F. because of their world famous Chinatown.

well my thinking was san fran was chosen because of its history of chinese immigration through the city re: the gold rush, the railways et al. and the contribution made by the chinese in these ventures.

Here's an idea, Fuck China and take it to Greece or Italy. If they don't want to be a part of it make sure that they are not, ever again.
