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?
  • So Louis

    Given that you're calling for war, where is your army? You criticize but you don't offer much in the way of alternatives. As you would put it: With all due respect.

    I'd love to see things move and things change. I support those protesters. I want something done about the killings. I don't see that you are any better than the Dalai Lama, though, if there isn't a way to do it. Didn't you see how fast the Chinese moved the Te Jing people in?

    If you have a plan, let us know, we might support it. But don't be too quick to offer someone else's head to the truncheon. And take note: since people began waving their flags at the Chinese embassy last week, calls have grown among world leaders and press for that investigation the Dalai Lama wants.

    It's more than you've done, cynic.
