I attended a vigil for Tibet yesterday in Balboa Park. It was really sad to hear about the persecution of the Tibetans. It reminded me of the Tiananmen Square massacre. I was attending a residential high school at the time. It was so surreal to watch the television in the common room and see kids my own age facing down tanks and then go take exams. We were told back then that if we continued normal relations with China and granted China permanent most favorite nation status that free trade would bring liberty. This obviously hasn’t happened. If you want to get involved you can visit the International Campaign for Tibet site. You can also sign a petition here.
