Assuming that they are being involutarily kept (and you know what they say about assumption...), sorta like those living involuntarily in exile from Tibet, former home of the failed tradition of Tibetan Buddhism.
Well it's kind of a weird comparison--really a logical fallacy--an invalid comparison. Tibetan Buddhism isn't meant for waging wars, it's meant for liberation.
So while yes it was not good for war, it was great for liberation. :-) So it therefore has been and still is a great success at what it's supposed to do: making Buddhas (and much more)!
Or perhaps you imagine Buddhas are somehow like Superman, I'm really not sure. You just seem angry to me.
Oh, except that there are what, several hundred pundits here, and several hundred thousand Tibetan exiles, perhaps millions? Yeah, Tibetan Buddhism sure looks after its people.
