anthony ... i am estonian...i know the ropes the tibetans want to rule their own section... so what...?.... why cannot they?...there are many minorities in china... been to china anthony? been to tibet? merle Merle, No way China will give up the strategically important Tibet. Estonians are a completely different race than Russians. But Tibetans are from the same language family as the Han Chinese. What they do is only simplify the pronunciation from 'rdzogt tschen' to 'dzog chen'. Anthony

Although Chinese rule has been oppressive for the ruling Lamaist class and its defenders, is there ANY evidence to suggest that going back to rule of a feudal God-King would be better than the current system? Has ANY dictator ever ruled to the benefit of "his" people?" Source - http://portland.indymedia.org/en/2003/12/277073.shtml I hope these will suffice as 'evidence' of my opinions. There are lots and lots of other sites and you can find them yourself by Binging or Goggling. ...Bill!
