If God was going to protect the people, he would not have dealt the devastation in the first place.

On a technical note, it appears that the buildings being cleared have been constructed without rebar.
The wieght alone will bring them down.

Since the Olympic Games will provide access and images of China outside of the packaged government message, it can be a good thing.

Careful. If you believe in recarnation, you may be reborn as a Tibetan Serf in your next life with the Great Dalai Lama as your master, not in China's Tibet but Nepal or India.
By the way, Tibetan are really Han like most of the population of China. Plz refer to the DNA report. They have the Chromosome C found only in the Han.

Then why talk about something you know nothing off. We are discussing about a humanitarian issue here and not your personal biases. Earthquakes & 20,000 innocent folks are killed. You don't have any any sympathy except to hope for more people to die thru internal conflict. You are sick.

From what I've read the Chinese are going to poison themselves with their pollution.
the Yellow River is dead, the Dam needs to be removed, the sky's are so poisonous that Olympic Athletes have refused to compete there.

China has an economy that helps the U.S. if only for the short run. Burma tells the U.S. to pound sand, confiscated emergency supplies, that should remain between the government and the people left.

If you are really interested in seeking the the truth, just pack your bag & travel to China. You will be amazed by everything you see & experience. Whether it is the people, the culture or the tradition & you understand why tourists keep going there. Go with an open mind.

That's not an easy thing to do. I would recommend the May 2008 issue of National Geographic Magazine.
