Comments: Tibet Protests Hit YouTube
Notice how unlike Kosovo, the western powers are not at all prepared to back tibetan independence....(trade rules, OK)
Whereas Kosovo independence was illegal, the chinese occupation of Tibet is illegal.

An alternative perspective is that Tibet and its calls for independence are a means for the West to destabilize China.
Which means that the exiled "spiritual leader", the Dalai Lama, is a fraud, an instrument, a tool, of the Anglo-American empire.
What exactly are we applauding here, about the recent insurrections in China?
The bleatings about China's "human rights abuses" are so bogus, and ooze hypocrisy.
Exactly which nation has invaded 48 countries since 1945?
What is the total Body Count from those countless wars of aggression? 10 million? 50 million? Who's counting?
Yet how many times are the ghosts of Tianaman Square resurrected to keep the anti-Chinese Western propaganda alive?
And who exactly are the Tibetans? Who handles them? Who manages their bureau in Langley Virginia?
When Al-CIA-duh carries out asymmetric warfare attacks on soft targets at home and abroad, we call it "terrorism".
Yet when our so-called allies, like the Tibetans, do the same, we call it "freedom fighting".
Rank hypocrisy.

The Great New Eurasian War is On; Brits Foment Riots in Tibet
March 15, 2008 (LPAC)--As the Chinese Communist Party concludes its annual National Peoples' Congress in Beijing with the election of a new party leadership, major destabilization operations are being run in Tibet, in an apparent attempt to discredit the Chinese Government which has, according to reports, been forced to call out troops in Lhasa to quell the riots.
Earlier a group of Tibetan activists, based in India, were stopped by the Indian government from marching across the border in protest to what they call the "Chinese occupation" of Tibet.
But trying to foment a revolt in Tibet is a strike at the very existence of China as a nation. Tibet has always been a playground of the British going back centuries. During the Cold War, many covert operations by the Anglo-American intelligence networks were run through Tibet.
The Tibet operation is also a direct attack on Chinese President Hu Jintao, who was earlier responsible for Tibet.
The Dalai Lama has called on the Chinese Government to cease using "brute force" and to initiate a dialogue with the Tibetan "government-in-exile."
The White House issued a statement calling on the Chinese Government to "respect Tibetan culture" and to "have a dialogue with the Dalai Lama," an alleged "religious leader" who spends his life attacking China.
The Tibet threat follows a few other reported terrorist attempts: one in which the flight crew prevented an attempt to crash a China Southern airlines plane flying from Urumqi, the capital of Xinjiang, a center for the Uighur minority, to Beijing; the other, the seizure of bomb materials in January in Urumqi, that were to be used in an attempt to disrupt the Beijing Olympics.

Hi Nigel,
Thanks for the perspective.
It’s always interesting and refreshing reading when someone takes the time to think outside the dogma and party line (outside the box) and presents contrarian positions.
It doesn’t necessarily represent a position of correctness but hopefully it’ll instill thought in others.
Once again, thanks.
Warmly,
Herb

I feel this is just so alarming, as the protest should be non violent, and appears to have started out that way.
I read that the Dalai Lama has said he will resign if the violence does not stop.

The problem is that whenever the Chinese haven't been calling the shots in Tibet, the Indians and or British have, with the Russians trying to muscle in.
Shades of grey, not black and white.
