cite your source that these people had knifes and improvised weaponry and were charging the police.
Also, the Chinese army is large enough and technologically advance enough to use non-lethal methods of riot control. The United States has demonstrated it's ability to do so.

Also, the point of the military is the suppress the riot. These riots are violent. You don't suppress violent riots with kind words or hugs. Live ammunition is intiminating and thats what needs to be used during riots.

Tear gas, smoke bombs, batons, shields, hoses, tazers, pepper spray, plastic bullets, beanbag rounds...you can see where I'm going.
Live bullets are actually more likely to incur rage and panic as opposed to disorientation and vulnerability in the masses.

You think that China never attempted the make Tibetan life better? Were do you think 90% of Tibetan economy comes from? Tourism, Tourism from mainland. Without it, Tibetan would be much poorer.

A very similar argument the British made to the American colonies.
Half of it is also to swamp the Tibet demographics.
Also, the Tibetan's haven't been treated very well.
http://www.tibet.net/en/diir/pubs/wp...ng%20Truth.pdf
states that 1.2 million Tibetans have died due to violence or other indirect causes since the "Great Leap Forward" (1958-1960).
While this has probably been exaggerated, more accurate polls place the number at 200,000 (according to The Black Book of Communism).
Also, to shrink the proportion of Native Tibetans to Han people, the Chinese government have made all these socioeconomic advantages for Han people which have basically pushed the Native Tibetan people aside.
This is a news report on the above.
Asia Times Online :: China News, China Business News, Taiwan and Hong Kong News and Business.
So, while I think the Tibetan protesters have committed incredibly wrong acts...it has been created by a frankly prejudiced acts by the Chinese government.

There is no prof that the Chinese government have tried anything worst the Guantanamo (as far as i know), if so. Please cite your source.

Lets start with the Tianamin square incident.
That picture sums it up nicely.
The country has the worlds largest population, yet it is ranked highest in number of executions per population.

Actually the number is probably higher as the Chinese government has kept the exact nature of the statistic secret.
They constantly sensor sites (it wasn't easy to get the Tiananmen Square picture) and have wire tapped my family's house when we lived in Beijing.
And a personal favorite and a clear winner over Guantanamo Bay for worst human rights violation...
In order to enforce the one-child policy. The Chinese government has forced abortions. It wasn't until 2002 that they outlawed it officially. (it is still done, just not condoned by the national government)

Dressing up as "monks" and launching a suprise attack would not be suprising. If you ignore warning and get shot, its not the shooters fault. Just like how if somebody stupid enough runs into area 51 and complains about being shot at.

This wasn't area 51, you would never see this in an American protest, and you need to cite all your sources.
