[Buddha-l] more tibetan self-immolations

[Jo]

Right--the CIA armed one group, the Khams, with deleterious results-- to the
Khams.
Nixon brought a halt to this particular CIA effort as he was proceeding to
effect diplomatic relations with China.

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,
