China has deported eight Americans who were detained in Beijing last week after a wave of pro-Tibet protests coinciding with the Olympics

China, the communist nation, has not allowed a small number of protesters to disrupt the Olympics and grab the world's television headlines. Good for China! Never mind what they're attempting to protest. The point is the Chinese are controlling western media attempts to portray to the world the lack of some individual rights. Just like they attempt to control the import of pornography via the Internet. Let's compare this to the Democratic National Convention opening this week in Denver.

We're already seeing them gather with their costumes and choreographed actions. Network cameras are right there, broadcasting to the world how bad it is here in the U.S. I've always wondered who pays these folks for their antics.

It's too bad we aren't more like the Chinese in this case.
