Some rhetorical questions

Tibet is rising up against its Chinese masters: http://www.canada.com/montrealgazette/news/story.html?id=b82c4a23-be86-4fec-ad89-3e722f7f9306&k=7706.

Some questions that have crossed my mind:

1) Will the U.N. Security Council even mention this, let alone condemn it?
2) Will the U.N. Human Rights Commission even mention this, let alone condemn it?
3) Will there be any accusations that the Chinese actions are "disproportionate", and unfairly penalize civilians?
4) Will there be any accusations that the Chinese--who have occuppied Tibet for longer than the Israelis have "occupied" the West Bank (or Gaza, which has been Judenrein since the summer of 2005), are engaging in "collective punishment"?

Yeah, I didn't think so, either.............
