The one thing that makes the US unique is that we believe that human rights derive from our creator Hawk.. your argument is no better... Seems like God missed a few folks in the development of the US.. so the issue for TJ I suspect is two fold..
1) The Tibetens and Han are pretty close ethnically and have a long intertwined history of marriage and association.. like two clans.. whereas the US is stolen land pure and simple.. Just the way it is.. Same with Canada..
2) The Tibetans are not the pure as snow folks that the western boosters make them out to be,... but rather a brutal people.. as brutal as any others.. Spaniards, Portuguese, Arabs, American, Canadian, Germans, Hutu...... etc etc etc. unless you were in with the in crowd...

so this is all reminiscent of the old S&G tune.. siliconinvestor.com

Sounds of Silence.. so everybody's talkin but..
And in the naked light I saw, ten thousand people, maybe more
People talking without speaking, people hearing without listening

you cannot invade your own country

you can only maintain law and order and reclaim same from invaders

re below, let me revise per truth <<The one thing that makes the US unique is that we believe that human rights derive from our creator [and we wiped out the natives and refuse to compensate them properly]. Everywhere else [including the homeland], human rights are arbitrarily "guaranteed" by the altruism of the ruling elite [, either by rule of men or by rule by making up laws]. They can be granted, and taken away, at will, as TJ fully seems to admit, [more easily, at the stroke of a pen, in the homeland]

Therefore, his perspective on "law and order" is [seemingly]dramatically different than that of the US. Law and order in the US, theoretically [and disingenuously]speaking, derives by consent of the governed, not the ruling elite.

Of course, many Americans have forgotten these ideals [because most, including myself, never really understood them], but they are still [sort of, dusty books in musty archives, next to the water board equipment] embodied within our constitution and guide our fundamental perception of the unalienable rights of mankind.>>
