Sad thing is, I can't honestly say I'm pissed about it, it's just business as usual. Everyone dances nimbly around certain players, China being most notable. At some point, this whole deal between China and the Dalai Lama is going to come to a head, and then we'll see who really stands for peace.
That is, if the Dalai Lama is still alive at that point.
There's got to be a better way to do foreign relations than this immature playground tactic. "I'm big. Don't make me angry."
Sometimes the biggest are the ones who have the most growing up to do.

1 in 4 girls will be sexually abused before the age of 18, and 1 in 6 boys.
These figures only represent reported cases.
Doesn`t sound much like a peace conference to me, more like a business conference. The vast expanding economy of China presents big opportunities for trade. Pehaps the conference should be re-named Piece conference - they all want a piece!
Incidentally I went to a showing of the film, Fire Under The Snow which tells the life of a Tibetan monk, Palden Gyatso who was a prisoner of the Chinese for 33 years enduring horrendous torture & starvation. After the film Palden Gyatso was present for a Q & A session. I recommend seeing the film if you have the opportunity.
Some things in life are bad -- they can really make you mad.
Other things just make you swear and curse.
When you're chewing on life's gristle,
don't grumble, give a whistle,
and this'll help things turn out for the best...
