BBC V.S. Blogs

I have just read a few articles about the incidents of Tibet from both BBC and people's blogs. Since I am not too into its history and I didn't know much about Tibet, so I won't be judging which one is right. What I would say is this: The BBC News focuses on the incidents that had happened, and the blogs are people's opinions base on their knowledge. For example, one of the blogs has comments of an argument between the oner of the blog and another viewer. The viewer stated that she/he believes the West should go ahead and use military power to stop China and teach China to be civilized. The owner of the blog argues back and says if it were okay for the West to use military to control China, then it should also be okay for China to use military to control Tibet. I love that argument. It's sweet and concise. But anyway, in my opinion, we shouldn't only focus on how the Tibetan feel because they are obviously unhappy for being restricted. We should also try to see what China says.

Blogs are all about sharing ideas. It sounds like you found one with very good thinking. Violence leads to more violence.
