| Dalai Lama v. China I watched an interesting documentary about the Dalai Lama and Tibetians in India that was hosted by Dan Rather. It is about 53 mins long and can be watched in its entirety by clicking below. http://www.hd.net/drr234.html Preview:http://video.google.com/videoplay?do...arch&plindex=0 Full Length Full screen Version: http://video.google.com/videoplay?do...arch&plindex=1 One Man vs. China Dan Rather Reports features a rare in-depth interview with the Dalai Lama, one of the world's most influential figures, who in just two weeks will receive the Congressional Gold Medal - the highest honor paid to a civilian by the United States Congress. After 48 years in exile the Dalai Lama, a 72-year-old Buddhist monk, with no country or army, tells Dan Rather that he remains committed to what he calls Tibet's "freedom struggle," urging his followers to walk a peaceful but not passive path saying "We have to act. We have to work." |

| Pretty soon Tibetan culture will be found only in Dharamsala. Sad! |

| HH's message is a message of hope but I still wonder whether this strategy is the right one because while we are waiting for things to change staying in Dharmsala, Tibetan people in Tibet are slowly disappearing thanks to imprisonments, ethnic marriages and so on... I fear that once thiongs will be changed, no more real tibetan will live in Tibet... |

| I think the key point here is that the global community chooses to ignore China's human rights track record just because it is so lucrative to do business with them. |

| Well Done, George First, and probably last, time I did appreciate G.W. Bush, when just yesterday he met the Dalai Lama. When His Holyness come to Italy, mr berlusconi did not receive him, afraid of compromising trademark business with China.  |

| Well... I felt the same about Major, who was the first Brit PM to meet with the DL, although it was made clear that he was meeeting him as a religious leader, not a plitical one. I'm astonished that USA is honouring the DL. They must really hate China, and really really not want a future relationship with it! |

| Sounds like China will be starting on a hate hate relationshipwith the US. Didn't they just accuse another country of hurting the feelings of the Chinese people by receiving the DL? Somewhere in Europe? I recall the quote, but not the country it was aimed at. I'm guessing... Germany? |

| Yep, it was Germany. The chancellor met the DL. If I remember right, China called off some human rights meeting with Germany after the DL's trip.
