[Buddha-l] more tibetan self-immolations

I agree with you.  The aggressors are the Communist Chinese and their unlawful policies.  There already is a war going on, but most politely ignore the reality and claim that it is better to let injustice dominate.

What other alternative(s) would you suggest? It seems that these methods have 
failed, (1) the Dalai Lama's non-violence, (2) Gandhi-styled fast, (3) Thic 
Quang Duc-styled self-immolation. These methods brought forth more criticism and 
condemnation than any breakthrough or success.

A Buddhist friend suggest that Tibetans should just give in / give up. Well, it 
is also not healthy to suggest that we give in, whenever a person is being 
bullied, harrassed, victimized or aggressed.

Nothing is worse than war. Nothing. So how can waging war be considered better 
than dramatic suicide?
