Nancy Pelosi, U.S. House Speaker, calls on nations to protest China's hold on Tibet.
Finally, someone in government said something MORE than just "show restraint" about China's crackdown on Tibet.
"If freedom-loving people throughout the world do not speak out against China's oppression in China and Tibet, we have lost all moral authority to speak on behalf of human rights anywhere in the world," Pelosi told reporters.
"The situation in Tibet is a challenge to the conscience of the world."
Her statements are her personal opinion and do not reflect U.S. policy. However, I respect her for speaking out against China's oppressive treatment of the Tibetans. She is right. What China is doing is an outright violation of human rights, and if we value freedom and human rights at all, we need to speak out.
Somebody actually needs to care about what's happening.
