[Buddha-l] more tibetan self-immolations

[donna Bair-Mundy]

Aloha,
   Now, I know I'm getting old and senile so correct me if I'm wrong on 
this but as I recall Tibetans actually tried the path of violent uprising 
against the Chinese many years ago, with covert help from the United 
States.  The result was bloodshed but no independence for the Tibetan 
people.

                    	Have a safe and joyful day,
