Give Peace A Chance

The Dalai Lama has beenĀ refused a visa for a peace conference in South Africa. South Africa says it doesn’t want to shift attention from the 2010 World Cup (to be held more than a year after this visit). South Africa also said that they have, in recent years, had a good trade relationship with China. My guess is that China told South Africa to deny him entrance.

The peace conference was meant to showcase South Africa’s leading human-rights efforts. Talk about irony.
