A massacre is a terrible thing but it’s worse when it’s forgotten.
Could there be anything worse than that?
Yes, there could!
The regime that enabled the massacre was being feted by the world. Kind of similar to Nazi Germany being feted after the Anschluss. Or exactly like if Stalin’s Russia had been allowed by the international community to parade itself.
Today is the 20th anniversary of the infamous massacre of thousands of its own citizens by the Burmese Junta. Most authorities blame China as well as the Junta since it is the Chinese weight behind the Junta that has enabled them to thumb their nose at the world.
The entire story is here. Several ideas in that story deserve to be taken up.
Instead of Champion Olympians, maybe China should be called Champion Genocide enablers. Tibet, Burma, Darfur. Who will be next?
