The Dalai Lama -- Promotes Rioting? *UPDATE: And Terrorism!*

China has accused the Dalai Lama of supporting riots.  Are they kidding?  That's like accusing Mother Theresa of running a call-girl operation.  The man's entire life has been devoted to peace and religion.

A report by Xinhua, China's official news agency, said the government had evidence the Dalai Lama and his supporters had planned the rash of anti-Chinese unrest across the Himalayan region and nearby areas this month.

Maybe it's true, however unlikely... I don't take anything the Chinese government says at face-value.  Asking themselves why such a prominent symbol of peace would promote civil unrest might be a good place for them to start looking for "root causes".

Free Tibet.  Boycott the Olympics.  Recognize Taiwan as independent.  Completely cut off aid to the Palestinians.  Secure the borders at the same time we help Mexico no longer need to send illegals here.  Invest the money we're currently sending the PA in Mexican businesses, not the government.  Put Venezuela on the list of terrorist supporters and stop buying their oil until they get rid of Chavez.  Stop trying to appease tyranny in all its forms (Socialism, Communism, Radical Islam, etc..)  There's a lot more we can do.  We're not going to be in a position to do these things if we keep letting the despots gather power.

*UPDATE* I originally had China accusing the Dalai Lama of terrorism in the headline and changed it because I didn't want to go too far.  Go figure.

China escalated its rhetoric against supporters of the Dalai Lama on Tuesday, accusing the Nobel Peace laureate's backers of planning suicide attacks.

The big lie... I guess China didn't think the first one was quite large enough.

You know what would be the worst part about that if it were true?

The same people who justify terrorism against Israel would condemn the Tibetans.

2 Too true Veeshir.  The cognitive dissonance is astounding sometimes.
