    Great idea, but it's not gonna happen - unless the next revolution in China will be a success, and not another Tienanman massacre.

    As time passes your assessment is becoming more and more true. People enjoy fear, sensationalism and frenzy. The voice of reason is easily drowned out. What is really aggravating is when stupid meets ignorant and it affects one personally.

    And it becomes readily apparent that there is no shortage of that in the Government Officials making policy. No matter the Country. Plenty to go around.

    What I've learned (the hard way) visiting some countries, is that whilst outsiders vilify the particular regime of a country, most of the locals see it differently.

    Two examples are in Phils and China.

    Here in the Philippines, the President attracts almost God-like adulation from most Filipinos. Outsiders tend to look at some of the unconventional methods used to achieve the goals and zero in on those in a critical way.

    In China, of course the Chinese know that their Government uses methods that outside of China are seen as wrong/inhumane/restrictive/oppressive or whatever. Most of them accept this in the name of progress and boy, have they progressed of late. What other country would idolise a man who was directly responsible for the killing of millions?

    In both of these cases, Western governments or in the case of the Philippines, opposition parties, home in on the things they don't like as a strategy to undermine.

    I'm not saying I agree with either way of governing a country, but sometimes you have to just let the locals decide and let them get on with it as it's not our business.

    Maybe this should have gone into the 'Controversial Topic' section? It moves on the debate above though and hopefully adds something.
