Dear Mary Hennock, Eat your heart out! I am sure you are very dissappointed now that the Olympic flame reached the peak. What are you going to write next?

To my fellow Americans who proclaim you are what you preach, please return California to the Mexicans. Such gesture would give China no reason to not "free" Tibet. What do you think?

Free American Indian !!! They almost all were slaughtered by white man.  Everyone of this world should support to set up several independent INDIAN REPUBLIC in America. It is time to bring the justice now!

CONGRATULATION! tHE TOURCH ON MOUNTAIN JUMULANGMA (EVEREST) IS GREAT!

Despite your clear schadenfreude attitude, Melinda, I think its very likely you'll ultimately be disappointed.  The torch will probably make it to the peak, and the Chinese people will probably celebrate.  

In the mean time, enjoy some images from the Guangzhou torch run:

My fellow Americans: Let’s be specific how to enlighten the Chinese so that they can be one of us.

1). Stop your outdated torturing technique and try our waterboarding, which is endorsed by Present G. W. Bush.

2). Learn how we have dealt Branch Davidians and lit them up in flame in Waco, Texas.  This may enlighten you how to deal with those violent monks, particularly Dalai Lama who has been on our CIA’s payroll ($180,000 a year)

3). If you really need to jail someone, use secret prisons just like our CIA’s. Learn the advantages to install these facilities overseas.

4). You shall make sure that no scandals like Abu Ghraib be revealed in any of your prisons.

5). You need to learn the art of PR to convince the world to liberate another country, like we did in Iraq. We liberated Iraqis and now they have the unprecedented freedom to kill each other.

6). You have a lot to learn our history of how we dealt with Native Indians and how we show the world of their wonderful Indian conservation. Adding a casino would be a plus. We believe that this is particularly relevant to your problem.

On the other hand, if you really want show the world how good you have learned from us. Do the following: greeting US athletes during the Olympic Games with banners of "Free Iraq!" "Stop genocide and ethnic cleansing in Iraq!" "Stop Gitmo!" "Stop water boarding and torturing prisoners!" "Stop CIA’s secret prisons!" "Yankees, please teach Chinese how to run Tibetan conservation/casinos like your Indian Conservation/casinos"

Melinda Liu feeds on biased reports against China! That's how she got the job with newsweek!
