I took the liberty of editing your post, somewhat heavily, to make an obvious point, and I paraphrase:

<<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 King George's Megalomaniac Maelstrom should have been inflicted on Iraq.

King George's invasion looks somewhat like Mao's liberation of Tibet, but much less successful. Dala Lama 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 born-agains, or shipped west and east to build the greater empire in the desert, or something, anything. They couldn't be left to loiter around the empire, wondering on the rightes and wrongs of their lives and just who was inflicting what on whom and why.

The present day Dalai Lama was a 15 year old boy when the Chinese invaded Tibet. It ought to go without saying that he's not personally responsible for injustices which occurred before he was born, unless you believe in reincarnation (which I do not).
