These protests are clearly anti-Chinetic. The Buddhist world must condemn the violence. Why do Tibetans let their children throw rocks? Where is their Nelson Mandela? Tibetans will be free when they learn to love their children more than they hate the Chinese.
The 72-year-old Tibetan leader's dilemma was clear Sunday as he spoke to reporters, reiterating his commitment to nonviolence but at the same time refusing to condemn the violent protests inside Tibet.
«This is something like the people's movement,» he said, calling himself just a spokesman for the Tibetan people. «Morally, I don't want to demand 'do this, do that.
«I support their protest in a peaceful way that expresses their deep resentment,» said the Dalai Lama, who has personified Tibetans' struggle for self-determination since fleeing into exile in India in 1959 after a failed uprising against Chinese rule.
He also said activists inside Tibet had requested that he not ask them to curtail the protests, which appear to have led to wide-scale bloodshed.
