I think you missed my point by a mile.

How many "free Tibet" protestors even know where it is? (NO, its not in Canada!)

(As a minor note, terrorism and fundamentalism is a strong concern in Xijiang. A lot of terrorists come in through the borders of the former Soviet republics. Recently, suspected cells have infiltrated China from Afghanistan, mainly fleeing Afghan terrorists. And bombings DO happen - when I was stationed a school bus got blown up by some extremist)
That's why I posted that link so that we can all share knowledge of what has happened in Tibet from 1950 until the present day and the genuine concerns of the Tibetan people. And, yes, they do go beyond the milking of those goats.
