should tibet be free from china?

[chazk]

Well we all know the whole story the dalai lama pretty much handed tibet over to china in the 50's becuase he was only 16 yrs old and did not want his people to be sluaghtered by china.

So now that the people are protesting and hoping the protest will be seen on the tv during the olyimpics as the torch runs through tibet up to the mountian top.

Should tibet be indep? should anyone help them?

should anyone help them?

Why? There's no oil in Tibet

Plus no one in their right mind would take on over a million soldiers and the world's largest air force.

Doesn't China also keep North Korea in line?

What you talking about willis ?
The usa is freeing countries while china invaded tibet and forced communism on them.

while china invaded tibet and forced communism on them.

No different to the USA invading Iraq and forcing democracy on a nation ruled by tribalism.



*Edit: & in the interests of fairness us Brits invading a dozen nations in the past - even if it did result in overall better living conditions

Or the Romans bringing about better living conditions for Germania and Gaul!

You got me !

GWB speech to the people of Iraq. "hello the people of Iraq you will take this democracy and you will like it , argue with me and I will assume you are a terrorist and have you buried in a large mass grave in the desert, talk back to me and I'll assume you are a insurgent are we clear ? , Thank you for all of you're oil and have a good night, oh be in bed by 7pm or you ill be a terrorist and shot at point blank range , good night "
walks away and says " I think they like their freedom how bout you condie"

Tibet wasnt a democracy before. Things werent any better. And seriously who gives a fuck about Tibet ? They have nothing to offer except an old senile monk who seems to be popular among the Hollywood crowd....

Isn't that the US does bro?

Surprisingly, the get involved in every issue. You know the far east was called "far east" relative to the geographic position of the US. The middle east, same story. You think China has the ability to bully the US? The USA is the world's super power. It cannot be bullied.

Lol? Super power 50 years ago. China is the new big boy on the block now holmes, and already "bullies" the US financially, Chinese owned real estate in the US etc.
