Flexible outrage
A couple months ago, we got the story out of Bangladesh of street protests, a government crackdown, tens dead officially, hundreds dead in reports from expat opposition figures and the world was outraged.
Today, we get reports out of China of Tibetan street protests, a government crackdown, tens dead officially, hundreds dead in reports from expat opposition figures, and, pretty much, no one says a word.

The Bangladesh government needs more sweatshops feeding the endless American desire for cheap crap and higher profit margins. That'll get us off their backs.

The difference just shocks me. Remember the White House and everyone else issuing all those statements?
But, then again, the Bangladeshis didn't hold all our debt and have us by the short hairs.
