It's a crime, Charlie. Unfortunately, the Tibetans are not really fighting back. They get what they pay for. They're pretty helpless anyway.

Amazing that contemplative religious practitioners are seen as mortal threats to some governments.

I can see why China wants Taiwan back so badly considering their wealth, but what the hell do they want Tibet for? There's nothing of any value there.

Amazing that contemplative religious practitioners are seen as mortal threats to some governments.

When a government declares itself the father and god of the people, any idea that competes is seen as a threat.

In communist societies, the individual is worth nothing- the chinese government will gladly 'make' cadavers or donor organs for anyone willing to spend $50. They have endless numbers of 'dangerous' criminal carcasses to work with: Christians, Falun Gong, and anyone who dare to speak out against the government. China is truely a dispicable place.

We wouldn't make it past the coast, their standing army is larger than our totalpopulation. Even if all they had were rifles and RPGs we'd lose.
