French senator Jean-Luc Melenchon has pledged his support for China Olympics and reveals the truth about Tibet.
Although I could clearly hear Melenchon pledging his support for China Olympics, I've failed to see what truth about Tibet he's revealed.

Quote:
Why do western governments and NGOs apply double standards when it comes to human rights? Silence on Guatanamo Bay, former colonies, ...
Melenchon is not far from saying it's all a neo-con conspiracy. He even says Reporters Without Borders are working for Bush. Do you agree with him?

Quote:
Many NGOs championing Tibetan independence and return of Dalai Lama are toeing the line of American neo-cons.
Never mind.

Quote:
Kosovo was not meant to declare independence but ended up as a US base ... why?
Would you rather have left the people of Kossovo's fate in the hands of their loathed enemy? I personally am thankful the US have helped us to stabilize the Balkans: Things would be much worst without US support.

Quote:
Do they really want to support a return to theocracy in Tibet? A secular and efficient government should be replaced by a less democratic religious one? Come on, what's the agenda?
There is no agenda I know of, only the common sense that all people have a right to be free regardless of their religious beliefs and forms of government. Do you think the lives of Tibetans are worthless because they don't meet your own criteria?
