[Buddha-l] more tibetan self-immolations

[Jo]

That's odd--already a war going on? 
Being passive-aggressive is oppositional, but it is not making war.

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?
