Tibet, Darfur, Myanmar, Gulf, Petrol, China and America

Now how are these related? Oil. Petrol is the reason why America has been and is still turning a blind eye towards the lack of democracy in most of the Gulf countries. Now the Chinese are crushing the Tibetan movement for democracy. They also provide weapons for the atrocities committed on the Darfur region by the government supported militia named Janjaweed. China is the major buyer of petroleum products from Sudan. China is turning a blind eye to the atrocities committed for the sake of oil. India is doing the same to the Myanmar military junta who are crushing the democracy movement under Aung San Suu Kyi. India gets oil from Myanmar. All these governments are turning a blind eye towards the human rights violations by other governments for sake of oil. The communist parties in India see only the violations which occur under the US government rule. The US government see violations under communist rule. This is all a vicious circle.
