Dali Lama - Terrorist?

The Chinese are now ludicrously labeling the Dali Lama a terrorist. One wonders what lows the regime will go to next. If Western countries grow some backbone perhaps China's precious Olympics might be in jeopardy. Then again unfortunately money is paramount and not our democratic and human rights principles.

Choctaw native American community donates to the Mayo Shell to Sea campaign
Interesingly, the Native American Choctaw Community has donated to the Corrib oil campaign. The Shell to Sea campaign is trying to prevent the installation of a Shell gas terminal and pipeline. What is interesting is that the Choctaw previously donated money to Ireland during the famine. They donated $710 to Ireland in 1847 for famine relief. They have now donated the equvalent in current monies to the campaign - $8000. Ireland recently donated to the Choktaw following Hurrincane Katrina.
The Gas pipeline will destroy local natural habitats. It is also very unsafe as the pipeling will be extremely high pressure and is going through bogland which is prone to landslides. A possible terrorist target also given the Irish governments blank check to the US to use Shannon as a stop enroute to Iraq.
No doubt the recently elected Green Party will do something about this - or will they just continue to capitulate to Bertie and Co as they have done thus far!
