The recent media has been bombarded with pictures and text concerning
rioting and protesting the china olympics. People have died and many others injured as the torch was carried through different countries, usually a uniting, memorable experience but transformed into a terrifying, deadly ordeal.
Although this picketing was most definitely too extreme and should not have gone as far as it did,the desired message was conveyed and will hopefully cause change for the better. I dont think the protesters should have disturbed the olympic celebrations as for many, the occasion (only happening once every four years) is very special and should not have been spoiled.
This website (http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/europe/7310654.stm) describes some of the incidents that occured in and around Tibet.
