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. How about a few links.thestar.com The Chinese government says 22 people died in the riots of March 14, mostly ethnic Han Chinese.cctv.com iht.com Four of the women were Han Chinese. The fifth was an ethnic Tibetan, Cirenzhuoga, 21, who supported her relatives. The government, which has spoken often of innocent Chinese victims, mentioned only in passing that she was Tibetan. Her family is as angry as the others at the protesters.news.xinhuanet.com Sun Pingjiang, an ethnic Han and owner of a Titan-styled accessories store near the Ramogia monastery, said he owed his life to an old Tibetan woman who saved him from bleeding to death. "I was attacked by more than 30 people about my age when I was running from my store to my friend's. The mobs beat and stabbed me," said the 26-year-old. edition.cnn.com Rioters appeared to target Han Chinese, witness tells CNNYou just continue to restate this lame idea which serious advocates on both sides of this argument have dismissed as not viable. How convenient for you eh ? Frankly that's the point.. Saying that is lame and hypocritical.. IMHO. Your line on reducing suffering is nice but try looking at Iraq ... yell and scream at YOUR government to GTF outta there.. or is that not viable also ? You've frankly gone from a great sentiment to the new heights in hypocrisy. Forget the First Nations in North America... There is stuff the US can be doing right NOW!!!!! Besides using China to hide their issues. The Black Swan
