So then why is it
Everyone else gets to have a radically liberally blessed War of Liberation? I really can't think of any violent secessionist movement that hasn't been blessed by the very same people who are preaching blissful subjugation here.
I really need to understand the criteria you apply - East Timor, Chechnya, Kurds, Palestinians, Sri Lankans, Kosovars, FARC, to say nothing of the Indonesian, Burmese, Kashmiri, Pushtun, Georgian, Azerbijani or Nigerian separatist revolutions all get a rousing chorus, a slough of websites, and angry blogging black t-shirted rebels. So you tell me - why is it Tibetans shouldn't rise up? Because they're Buddhist? Sri Lanka has a Buddhist ARMY. Vietnamese, Cambodians and Laotians are Buddhist.
