Your "evidence" of "1.5 million" Tibetians being killed comes from a site worshipping the Dalai Lama....unbiased? Doubtful.

So where did your original 3 million estimate come from? You made it up. Proves your "statements" are exactly true.

I find it funny just because the Dalai Lama is a persuasive individual, the world has to pick on Tibet. What about the ETA rebels in Spain demanding their freedom? What about Kurds demanding their freedom in Turkey? What about Chechnya? And the...wait, Stalin actually exterminated the East Prussians. Nobody cares about them. Why? Because they don't have a leader like the Dalai Lama and his ability to rally up crowds.

Most information from Tibet comes from American sources...I thought leftists say American media is a government propaganda device or something.

Ultimately, if the Tibetians truely want their freedom....they would be free by now. But most of them happen to be watching Chinese television, eating Chinese delivered rice, working at Chinese provided jobs, and taking Chinese yen. Not to mention grabbing more Chinese money to build more temples laced with gold and glittering gems and silver....(the monks lived very luxurious lives for Buddhists, wonder if they're really true to their cause?).

Maybe the Tibetian monks should give their gold and diamonds to the hungry and poor, like their religion says so? And anyone noticed the Dalai Lama actually wears silk clothing?<hr size="1" /></blockquote><span class='postcolor'>

I didn't make up the 3 million quote, the source I read it from may have. The 1.5 million however comes from a more respectable source. So it's up to you to disprove it now.

Your changing the argument here. Yes their hypocracy in Tibet. But thats not what we were talking about. China has invaded another sovereign nation. In doing so, and maintaining its authority, its has killed 1.5 million people. It is the occupation I object to. You havn't been able to give a good reason for China to occupy a foreign country. its not like Tibet was about to invade, is it?
