free tibet
Tanak Jigme Sangpo is now living in the United States. I’ve been doing some thinking about the Tibet situation lately and I’m just amazed by the lack of response given by the United Nations and the United States. I was not alive at the time, so maybe I don’t know the circumstances but I find it amazingly hard to believe and scary that nothing was done. The Dalai Lama was making a push for a democratic government. This was plenty to fight for Korea. Was it the religion, a sketchy history or was it really the fact that China was a growing trade nation? Back then China was without nuclear weapons. Today I think we are scared of a war. I really doubt intervention will happen from the world community at this point. Not real intervention (and I’m not advocating war per se, but I am insinuating the threat of war or lack of trade). Until their is a shift in US policy I don’t ever think we’ll see a free Tibet.
One word: splendiferous.
Now we’re talking.

I hope that you’re wrong. I think that a Free Tibet is very possible in our life time but it will not come about from war. I hope that the people of Tibet would not want thier land back by such a means.
I wrote a poem about it, you can find it online here:
