China eh? Nothing like a communist regime to crack down... on people's skulls. When those people are un-armed monks who just want their country freed from china's occupation, it kinda makes you rather sick. You'd expect the UN to do or say something more, but I find it hysterical that the 'Team America: World police' portrayal of the UN was so damn accurate. Just look at Zimbabwe (Mugabe, you're a cunt), or Darfur, or Kenya, or Great Britain... yeah, even our own country needs some foreign intervention- kick out the corrupt and inept new labour lot, and get some completely new people in, people who arent constantly chasing votes via ridiculous legislation, or double dealing to boost their own posistion and status. By God, if only I had my own private army, or failing that, a .50 calibre rifle....
