Seduced by the Dalai Lama
He may be a global icon of goodness, as Pico Iyer's biography reminds us. But is the Dalai Lama the political leader Tibet needs?
By Louis Bayard [2008-03-25]

  • pacifism

    "Would he have dared offer this counsel to the 1 million Tibetans who were directly or indirectly killed by invading Chinese?" He did, and continues to do so.

    If you die in combat, or if you die peacefully resisting, aren't you just as dead? Why do we value dying in an attempt to wage war over dying in an attempt to wage peace?
