罕见的公正的好文章
一个大奴隶主,控制着一个曾经没有任何人权的地区,现在在这儿谈自由民主,简直是
笑话。
如果你说他被驱逐的时候还年少不懂事,那么他拒绝评论伊拉克战争,在我来看,完全
就是kiss美国政府的ass,恶心至极。

Recently President Bush presented the Dalai Lama the Gold Medal, Congress’s
highest and most prestigious civilian award. It was a glamorous ceremony in
the Capitol Rotunda, attended by the rich and famous. Senators Diane
Feinstein, Robert Byrd, Harry Reid, and House Speaker Nancy Pelosi were
among the hundreds of admirers.

Actor Richard Gere, his spokesman and one of his biggest fans, proclaimed “
It’s that just by the proximity to him, you will get spiritually healed,”
and he called him “the greatest living human.”

President Bush called him a “universal symbol of peace and tolerance, a
shepherd of the faithful and a keeper of the flame for his people.”

The Dalai Lama also has his critics. Author Michael Parenti sees him as
reflecting a distressing symbiosis between religion and violence. Historian
Howard Zinn expresses disappointment in the Dalai Lama’s suggestion to wait
a few years before judging the war in Iraq, when this preemptive and
illegal war is such a clear-cut moral issue.

So what are we to make of the Dalai Lama? Who is this frail man, his hands
folded as if in permanent prayer, with a smile that rarely leaves his face
and a bow in deference to those who cross his path? He moves slowly and
gracefully and he talks a lot about forgiveness and peace.

This apparently gentle man is the 14th of a long line of reborn Dalai Lamas
who ruled over a brutal feudal theocracy where disobedience was not
tolerated. Punishment ranged from loss of limbs to the gouging out of eyes
and flogging people to death.

It was a country where most of the population were serfs and slaves, totally
accountable to their masters. Some slaves tried to survive by begging. A
few hundred privileged families shared power with the Dalai Lama and owned
most of the land. The old Tibet was far removed from the freedom that Dalai
Lama and his supporters are talking about. There were no schools, no
healthcare, and the literacy rate was about 5 percent.

There are those who see the Dalai Lama as a man of contradictions and they
see his admirers as gullible and misinformed. He has expressed his belief
that modern science takes precedence over ancient religions, but he ruled
over a medieval and brutal theocracy. He preaches peace but refuses to pass
judgment on Iraq.

Is the Dalai Lama speaking out of both sides of his mouth, trying to play it
safe and to offend nobody? It seems clear that this seemingly meek
gentleman is a shrewd observer of human events. To many observers he remains
an enigma.

Was Tibet ever this romantic, Hollywood-style Shangri La? Were the Tibetan
people, with their colorful garments, bells, and horns, really content as
they submitted to the rituals of prayer and as they clapped their hands to
get rid of doubts and harmful emotions, hoping for greater awareness and
enlightenment? Or did they not know any better as they spent their lives in
this remote and isolated society? Did China destroy Shangri-La and a
beautiful ancient culture or did they liberate and modernize a backward and
brutal kingdom?

China invaded Tibet in 1959. The foreign-sponsored uprising was easily
crushed and the Dalai Lama with his riches and thousands of followers fled
to India, where he set up his government in exile. The “Free Tibet”
movement and the west would like to return the Dalai Lama to his throne. The
Dalai Lama himself claims that he is not seeking independence but “
meaningful autonomy,” while China accuses the Dalai Lama of a hidden agenda.

China has significantly altered Tibet’s social structure. China has
constructed roads and introduced light industry. They built hundreds of
schools and life expectancy has dramatically improved. Michael Parenti among
others points out that the Chinese abolished slavery, built hospitals, and
eliminated mutilations, floggings and amputations.

They introduced land reform. Acres of land formerly owned by nobles and
lamas were distributed to landless peasants. Not many Tibetans would choose
to go back to slavery and grinding poverty. They don’t look at the Chinese
occupation as Paradise Lost.

One of the Dalai Lama’s missions is to preserve and to keep the ancient
Tibetan culture alive. But what is this cultural heritage that the Dalai
Lama is trying to preserve? Does it include the teaching of the feudal
system, and the need for slavery and absolute obedience? Does it teach the
poor that their life of suffering is due to the evil acts they committed in
previous lives and that they must accept their life of misery as atonement
for past sins?

For the Tibetans the issue is whether you hold on to an ancient culture of
social injustice or you support moving into the modern age. Many former
serfs have sided with China.

Indications are that the powerful lamas and their ancient culture that this
Dalai Lama wants to preserve may be a thing of the past unless foreign
troops try to change the course of history.

** Australian newspaper reports "US Finger in Unrest Pie" on March 24, 2008,
with subtitle: "WHICH country's interests are best served by an uprising in
Tibet on the eve of the Beijing Olympics?" The last sentence of the article
: "China is not perfect, but nor are the Dalai Lama and the Free Tibet crowd
, who are being used as pawns by the US."

** Asia Times alos has a article on march 26, 2008 taht says teh riots "
planning took place outside of Tibet", "on the basis of available evidence,
it was possible to assess with a reasonable measure of conviction that the
initial uprising in Lhasa on March 14 had been pre-planned and well
orchestrated".

** MAKING TIBET A RUNNING SORE and A NUISANCE to the CHINESE:
The former CIA Executive Assistant, Sam Halpern, said "I think the basic the
whole idea was to keep Chinese occupied somehow, keep them annoyed, keep
them disturbed. No body wanted to go to war over Tibet. That's pretty clear.
We did go to war over Korea. We did go to war over Indochina. We won't go
to war over Tibet. And so, it was nuisance operation, basically nothing more
. And I'll think it's American point of view, it wouldn't cost very much,
even money or manpower. Anyway it was not manpower, it was Tibetan manpower.
We were willing to help Tibetans from becoming a running sore and a
nuisance to the Chinese"

** "Students For A Free Tibet" ("STF"): directly quoted from SFT website: "
SFT's programs focus on two main areas: hard-hitting campaigns to make China
's occupation of Tibet too costly to maintain, and training to help students
become successful leaders and activists for Tibet" http://studentsforafreetibet.org/sect...

** CIA operations in 1984-1995 period as reported in the website of "Friends
of Tibet" - one of the CIA front organizations for Tibet operations.

** From 1959 to at least 1970, the Tibetan government in exile received $1.7
million (or $11.6 million in 2006 dollar) a year from CIA. The money is
used to pay the terrorist activities against China. Dalai Lama himself was
on CIA's payroll until 1974, reportedly receiving $180,000 a year ($897,000
in 2006 dollar). The funds were paid to him personally. National Endowment
for Democracy ("NED") has taken over to finance Dalai Lama after 1970, and
there is no record in ppublic domain that shows how much money is funneled
to Dalai Lama since then.http:
