How about 'Hypocritical Olympics'? ARTICLE: Olympic Trials for Polluted Beijing, By Ariana Eunjung Cha, Washington Post , March 30, 2007; Page A01 Attempts to brand Beijing 2008 as the "genocide Olympics" is hypocrisy at its worst: America won't do a damn thing to stop the janjaweed, so it's ALL CHINA'S FAULT, as if the cessation of their investments would bring the mass murdering to an end (yes that would immediately make things better, you just know). What '08 will really represent (and I've been pushing this concept since the June 2001 workshop atop WTC1 with Cantor Fitzgerald on enviro damage in Asia) is a global and China-specific tipping point on environmental damage from rapid industrialization there, plus the larger reality that China's on the verge of becoming the world's biggest CO2 emitter. Many embarrassments will result from the bad air, and China will end up being super-motivated to erase that reputational damage. Plus the world will end up having an even bigger discussion on global warming. In the end, both will be good things. As for Darfur, Hollywood bullshit artists better get over their hatred for the U.S. Military if they want that horror show stopped. thomaspmbarnett.com
