Hello Ron, indisputably, the US and UK conspired to load the Iranian population with the Shah by succeeding in plot against Iranian secular democracy back in 1957 ... that could be historically interpreted as evil, and all other evils followed after that sorry episode of regime change. You do remember, do you not?
As regard to Tibet, on one man one vote basis, as in the case of many parts of Canada, and Australia and USA, Tibet is indisputably Chinese, and Tibetans are most certainly not being killed in the middle of the night for minding own business at a few dozen a day clip - meaning babies are not living short lives, and daughters are not being raped. Visit Tibet sometime, check out the rising prosperity for all, including the Tibetans. The issue being?
The West making an official issue of it? Would that be the USA of the Indians, UK of Burma, France of Algeria, or Dutch of Indonesia? The West, via the Great Game, is precisely the lot that made acquisition of Tibet by any and all Chinese regime, KMT or CCCP, absolutely essential. Remember?
The point of destination of this sort of debate will prove silly, will end up where you know, eventually ending up at the time of Adam and Eve, but in the mean time, little babies are dying, defenseless against brave soldiers in heavy armor, and daughters are getting raped after same soldiers played golf.
