Excellent article TJ, because it fits with how I imagine things were and are. michaelparenti.org

To avoid eye-strain with italics, one can click on that link to see the real thing. And even print it out for relaxed contemplation in 3D reality, sitting under a nice shady tree with a cup of tea at hand.

Which is not to say that Mao's Megalomaniac Maelstrom should have been inflicted on Tibet.

Mao's invasion looks somewhat like King George II's invasion of Iraq, but much more successful. Saddam was an absolute ruler thug, and that's how things were, everywhere, to a greater or lesser extent, in centuries gone by when women had more children than could be easily sustained in happy harmony within a country.

Spare young males were put to work at the armed front, or jammed together as monks, or shipped north to build the Great Wall of China, or something, anything. They couldn't be left to loiter around the palace, wondering on the rites and wrongs of their lives and just who was inflicting what on whom and why.
