No Mo Mo, Thank you for the take, and appreciate more of same after your visit to Tibet. While there, do also check out how the then 'lords' treated the 'serfs' as presented in the palace. Perhaps the show is just that, but absolute fabrication is generally not do-able in broad daylight, and so there must be a sliver of truth to it all. As to fundamentalism, when folks prostrate all the way to the place of worship, it unnerves the non-fundamentalist, and so again, fundamentalism may be in the eye of the beholder. In any case, Tibet is 99.99% peaceful and getting more prosperous by the day, for all, just like the Indian reservations in Canada and USA, and in enough cases, better off. Tibet to me is one of those 'just is' facts, perhaps because I am not Tibetan. I am almost sure I would feel differently if I were Tibetan. However, the discussion with Ron was focused on babies getting murdered and daughters getting raped, by official representatives of a foreign army, and by proxies sponsored by all manner of outside parties, pushing and shoving, for a declared war against no body, in the middle of nowhere, for eternity, and ... oh, well, you know, but nothing to do with Tibet, unless Ron is suggesting that we compare authoritarian China leaders to Bush and Rummy.
