The Autobahn was invented during the Nazis unlawfully and undemocratically ruled Germany and the USA government did build the highway not for public service but to move the US-Army efficient from on to another place and successfully stopped all infrastructure projects across the USA that is not beneficial to their purpose. The list could go and on and as usual very typical for our media news reports a black and white picture.
No dead people not newsworthy.
The Nazis gave the winners an oak trees to grow them, so the environment movement is tainted by the Nazi cause, ...???
The American black super athlete Jessy Owen, one of my heroes when I was a young athlete my self, did grow this tree in his yard. because the tree was give to him while the Nazis ruled in Germany we should go and cut the tree,... ???

Free Tibet yes, but the parallelism between China and the Nazis unlawful ruled Germany because of some historical relevance just super stupid.

By the way there are many benefits we gained in medicine through the Nazis unlawful, inhuman, brutal and dictatorial rule, we may not like it and as painful as it is but that is fact. I wish we would have gotten there differently.
So the next time you visit a hospital you should ask your self when a doctor treads you, whether or not people with out choice had to die for you, under the hands of Nazi doctors, in order that we receive help today.

Less Nazi more free Tibet would be better.

I wasn't really comparing China to Nazi Germany. I only recently learned about the history of the torch relay, and it was fascinating to me. Half of the post I wrote got deleted, but I left the topic as a starting point for a conversation.

I'm sure you could look at things that the Nazi's did that are grounds for commendation, we just tend to look at their major faults.

I think the same thing applies with China, everyone wants to preface the word China with "Human rights abuser". My point is that it goes beyond China, and also goes right back to the accusing government.

Even though almost all points here are correct, I just want to point out that Hitler's reign was not unlawfull per se. He was democratically elected on a platform that advocated himself as a supreme leader. After he was elected, he kept his promise and abolished parliament.
