Symbolic gestures by the international community are cheap.

If the population and government of any country is absolutely serious about the moral primacy of freeing Tibet, let them impose significant economic and trade sanctions on China.

Bible passage: Leviticus 26:44
Prophet: Moses
Written: Perhaps around 1400 BC
Fulfilled: Beginning in 721 BC

About 2700 years ago, the Assyrians destroyed a large part of the Jewish homeland and exiled 10 of the 12 Tribes of Israel.... ]]> feeds@yuku.com (Unregistered(d)) http://thevirtualcommunity.yuku.com/topic/370 Mon, 13 Oct 2003 12:14:20 GMT <![CDATA[ The foolishness of idol-worship ]]> http://thevirtualcommunity.yuku.com/topic/371/t/The-foolishness-of-idol-worship.html
