China Nobel Row

[titus]

Norway is involved in the Afghanistan war, clearly supporting the US foreign policy.

Maybe in Afghanistan they do, but then Afghanistan was harboring a group accused of attacking the US. Hardly an internal affair.




You say:

The only time I can see where a country should be allowed to get involved in another countries' internal affairs is when there is mass murder of a particular group

Then you say:

the Israeli/Palestinian do allow for external action.

Yes because it will affect other countries national interests.

This is a contradiction as I see it. Is the criteria murder or affecting national interest?

And if you are saying that awarding prizes or voicing opinions is not getting involved in another countries internal affairs then why did you respond like this in a previous post:

but does anyone here actually support China in this? Or does everyone simply look upon it as spitting in the face of the West, therefore something to be applauded, or at the least condoned?

I think some western countries should not get involved in other countries internal affairs.

You are obviously equating the giving of Nobel Prize with getting involved in a countries internal affairs, and then later deny that it is.

It seems you are scatter shooting with no clear aim here.

Bush rejects Taliban offer to surrender bin Laden

The Bush administration did not even consider diplomacy or any peace negotiations.

This is a contradiction as I see it.

Read carefully:

The only time I can see where a country should be allowed to get involved in another countries' internal affairs is when there is mass murder of a particular group. Also, when a country has signed up to be a member of a organisation (e.g. EU) or signed a legislation (e.g. non-nuclear proliferation treaty or ECHR) or there is a issue where other countries' national interests are affected.

The Palestinian and Israeli conflict is an issue which affects other countries national interests.

then later deny that it is.

I was not even talking about the Nobel Peace Prize, like I said before, its a joke and has no credibility in my opinion. China should not let this trouble them. All I said was this:

I think some western countries should not get involved in other countries internal affairs.

Then let me repeat my question since you seem to be saying that your previous response had nothing to do with the question:

Does anyone here actually support China in this? Or does everyone simply look upon it as spitting in the face of the West, therefore something to be applauded, or at the least condoned?
