OT - Tibet

Gere is good for the balance of payments, how about we send 'em a real politician instead. I have one in mind, with a substantial resume, who soon may be looking for work.

<ot> Dear Ramsey - your solution is certainly high on the creativity chart <g> and your questions are certainly legitimate. Of course, since the US has already had a pro actor as her president before, I suppose Mr Richard Gere may have a chance too <g>.

Seriously, all your questions have been addressed to the finest details. I don't get involved in politics much, so here is the rough sketch. The Dalai Lama has no intention to rule Tibet. Yes, there is a separation of church and state. Yes, there will be a democratic govt [it will be tricky though, since there has been a substantial influx of ethnic chinese to the region.]

The clincher is this though. China obviously will not hand it over to anyone. Afterall, it maintains that it is tibet sovereign. And Dharamsala seems to cede to this demand. More important, Tibet region is rich in natural resources. And you know, people are still talking about what a great deal Alaska was.

best, Bosco
