The Tibet situation is really depressing. Even if we tried to do something China wouldn't even have to send their troops against us, just cut off the flow of consumer goods... Have you heard of Camp Hale? It's occasionally fun to speculate on what might have been, back when we actually could have done something about it...
The U.S. won't do anything about it because we can't afford to piss China off.
We may not have thousands of years of mythological history to look back to for ancient military and moral glory, but many Americans have turned the founding fathers into sainted geniuses, interpret the Constitution as justifying their beliefs/values/way of life, and ignore the concerns of the still-oppressed minorities who live within our defined borders.
