I take it that you are not actually conversant with the very well publicized writings and speeches of the actual Dalai Lama Now now Cb.. I was just pointing out facts and an example of the derived hyperbole (identified by me as such)... with a small speculation on the evidently poor choice of friends once made. All politicians are liars until proven otherwise IMO. Whatever they say is to advance their agenda. I am as cynical wrt to the Dali Lama as any other politician. Experience tells me this is the wisest course of action. You may choose to believe that the Dalai Lama is different.. so we disagree. Europeans stole (and much worse) the Americas. Is that different. Maybe even worse if we study our own history ? This looks like a typical turn the people's hate on an exterior target ploy so regularly used throughout history..Just how and why on earth did Tibet become so relevant all of a sudden ? It is so easy to hate the Chinese ... They cause all our woes.. It is not the pursuit of profit and the god called capitalism causing jobs to be outsourced... it is once again the yellow menace.. sigh.. This has been great for taking the eyes of the world off the Middle east.. The problems must be all resolved there now imagine that. I missed it... OK free Tibet.. The Black Swan

BTW CB.. The wiki excerpt (and I specifically mentioned this) noted that Harrer spent the war in a camp. Obviously he was not a 'war criminal' I did think his 'graduation' to the SS was rather condemning though.. indicative of his ideals and state of mind at the time ? He posed in a group photo with Hitler once... lots of folks did that... it was a souvenir.. not an association. I don't think I even remotely inferred that connection anywhere... The site I identified as hyperbole did do so though... So I think your Stalin Mao Nazi deduction was tad out there I'd say ... Neither you nor I can ever know what influence Harrer may or may not have had, good or bad, on a young Dalai Lama KastelCo-->Spotted.Cat-->Alladin Sane-->The Black Swan-->Qui sait ???
