I is hard for westerners to comment because of how we took our entire land from the Native Americans and then in our thirst to check out Tibet let the first CIA agent to die in action to be in Tibet and warn the Chinese of foreign agents wishing to set up shop at their back door.

Please don't damn the Chinese. When travelling in Tibet a few years ago, I quickly made the distinction between the Chinese and the Chinese Government. Most small villages we were in had at least some presence of Chinese forces. But, following the lead of compassion, I could not get angry at the individual troops who were there to show a presence. The Government? Yes, I could get angry with them and their policies. But many, if not all of the citizens are also under the thumb of this opressive force and I, for one, don't know the situation that led these people to be a part of the armed forces. Did they have a choice? Did they really want to be there? I could not answer that, so chose to view them with compassion and differentiate them from the Government.
That being said, it was extremely sad to see how the government is doing everything in it's considerable power to rid the world of any trace of Tibetan culture.
Namaste.
