:: Someone left us a message regarding the Dalai Lama and the previous post about Tibet: "It was interesting to note how many of the comments were pro-China. This was actually a Chinese govt orchestrated strategy according to The Nation a US Political Magazine". Here is an excerpt from the magazine:

Beijing has made more use than ever before of video footage that shows Tibetans engaging in acts of violence. The regime's "Net Nanny," as the cyber-censorship system is sometimes called, has been working overtime, trying to sweep the Web free of all postings that present the protesters in a positive light. And the blogosphere has been filled with comments on Tibet that spin off in many directions, with many nationalistic young Chinese expressing harsh criticism of the Lhasa protesters, while human rights groups stress the injustice of the crackdown in stepped up calls for a boycott.

Just read this article from CNN

http://www.cnn.com/2008/WORLD/asiapcf/03/20/tibet.miles.interview/

then draw your own conclusions.

[huh]

I did read the cnn link--thank you for that perspective--it was good to have it. But ultimately, according the link, it boils down to this (excerpted from the link):

Q. Is Dalai behind this?

A. Well we didn't see any evidence of any organized activity, at least there was nothing in what I sensed and saw during those couple of days of unrest in Lhasa, there was anything organized behind it. And I've seen organized unrest in China. The Tiananmen Square protests in 1989 involved numerous organizations spontaneously formed by people in Beijing to oppose, or to call for more reform and demand democracy. We didn't see that in Lhasa. There were no organizations there that ... certainly none that labeled themselves as such. These accusations against what they call the Dalai Lama clique, are ritual parts of the political rhetoric in Tibet. There is a constant background rhetoric directed at the Dalai Lama and his supporters in India. So it is not at all surprising that they would repeat that particular accusation in this case. But they haven't come across, haven't produced any evidence of this whatsoever. And I think it's more likely that what we saw was yes inspired by a general desire of Tibetans both inside Tibet and among the Dalai Lama's followers, to take advantage of this Olympic year. But also inspired simply by all these festering grievances on the ground in Lhasa.
