The US itself was built one Tibet at a time.. Show me I am wrong ...

I can't, nor would I attempt to do so. And neither can any other country, including China.

Every nation/state on this planet has a history of conquest against it's neighbors at some point in its history. That's been the nature of human interactions for thousands of years.

Who actually owns the land that these current nations reside upon is extremely subjective. I would assert no one owns the land, but only possess control of it by an act of will and strength.

If China was an ally...

The problem is that, while any territory of the US (not a state) can readily apply for independence, this is not the case with Tibet. American Samoa, Puerto Rico.. USVI have every right to ask for independence.

And I'm disturbed by this constant jingoist tone I'm hearing from TJ that seems to imply that just because a nation of people have some historical genetic tie to some portion of Chinese ethnicity, that justifies annexation.

There are a lot of races within Asia that bear some similarity to Chinese, who have no desire to become part of the PRC.
