Black Swan, As to the killings, I believe most of the dead were ethnic Tibetans, not Han Chinese. Finding it hard to corroborate what you say. Is that from the Dalai Lama'a Web site.. What I find from the rest of the world thinks differently. No, not from the Dalai Lama's web site but from my memory and recollections of the stories I heard during the riots a couple of months ago. But obviously my memory was faulty and my statement was incorrect. Thanks for bringing that to my attention. How convenient for you eh ? Frankly that's the point.. Saying that is lame and hypocritical.. IMHO. As you can see from my previous post, what I was referring to as lame was TJ's statement - "ok, i stand with you, as long as you can vacate all of the 50 states and return the key to the empire to that natives who will doubtlessly say yes should they be offered a chance". Nowhere did I ever advocate the Chinese getting out of Tibet. I did state multiple times that all parties must operate within the current political situation as it is and proceed accordingly. The situation with the millions of Chinese living there and the Chinese government ruling Tibet is what it is - everyone should just deal with it and move on. I was very clear on this in a number of posts. I included quotes from the Dalai Lama along these same lines and all TJ did multiple times was rehash the "get out of N.America and leave it to the Indians" argument. The issue of anyone getting out of somewhere was put to bed, settled & discredited long ago and it keeps popping up for no apparent reason again & again. That is what I labeled "lame" but try looking at Iraq ... yell and scream at YOUR government to GTF outta there.. or is that not viable also? Yelling & screaming at the US Government to get out of Iraq is certainly viable - that debacle was a horrendous mistake and never should have taken place. It has caused the displacement of hundreds of thousands of innocent Iraqi civilians and the deaths and maiming of an inordinate number of people. There are many anti-war organizations, campaigns & web-sites dedicated to ending the misery, multiple lobbying efforts directed at members of Congress and innumerable newspaper and magazine opinion pieces dedicated to stopping the war. Maybe we'll be able to elect someone who will change the course in Iraq. Additionally, local individuals get involved and do what they can. For example, not far from where I live, there is a group of people who have set up at the same major intersection every weekend for close to five years now and demonstrated against the war & handed out literature despite going through periods of verbal and physical abuse. Its nice to be able to live somewhere where citizens and groups can conduct all this activity without worrying about being thrown in prison. You've frankly gone from a great sentiment to the new heights in hypocrisy. Sorry you feel this way but frankly I don't feel as if I've risen to new heights of hypocrisy. I made a mistake in my last post which you corrected and otherwise have tried to be reasonable in what I've discussed. Certainly far from perfect but at least reasonable. Tom
