Be careful what you wish for

So the Chinese Embassy is doing its best to organise protests to protect the Olympic flame, is it?

I'd say one thing to the embassy: "Be careful what you wish for".

Once these protesters get a taste of massing and protesting, they might want to start doing it when they get home. Except they might not be protesting about the things you want them to protest about.

It would be nice to think that leafy Canberra might be an incubator for the next Chinese revolution.

To the embassy - bring it on, I say. Bring it on.
