DRP's work for blog post 5

taking in to account the situation with Tibet and China, i still feel that china should be able host the Olympics. i say this only because i would feel bad for the people how have been training so hard over the years to compete in the games, to all of a sudden have there goal taken away. what i think needs to be done, is give individual athletes or countries the ability to drop out of the Olympics as a show of respect for Tibet. 

i would also like to comment about the use of non violence. i am a huge advocator of the use for non violence. And i have a great respect of the Dalai Lama for encouraging the protesters to use non violence. i think that it is the better way to work on resolving a conflict for a couple of reasons. first if the Tibetan protesters use violence the situation will continue to escalate and more and more people will get hurt, and nothing will be accomplished. secondly the use of non violence would put the protesters in a good light. it would show the world how important their cause is , if they acted a peacefully when faced with violence.
