The Dalai lama and all his supporters in the battle of Free Tibet are in big dilemma. They are in urgent need of each other but cannot work together. The Dalai Lama wants a deal with Beijing because he is much interested in spending his final years back home but the pro-Tibet supporters are anytime ready to make the deal impossible. They are fighting for democracy in Tibet under a living Budhha. This is the main dilemma.

yeah..agreed with Matt from UK, I have read in news report that the Tibetan Youth Congress is in favour of struggling for the complete independence of Tibet. They are ready to sacrifice the lives of activists. And the Dalai Lama has abandoned calling for the independence of Tibet. The gap is widening between Tibetan supporters and their leader Dalai Lama.

Tibet is like a mouse in hawk’s claws and it’s difficult, if not impossible, to get rid from the terminator. So far they’ve got the Olympic shield as china is avoiding brutal crackdown, for it can lose the olympics. once olympics will be over, i don’t know what will happen to Tibet. tibet tired to hammer the hot iron, but so far it hasn’t succeeded in getting any favorable move or snatching olympics away from china. With each passing day, a good opportunity is slipping from tibetan hands and this will leave them with noting but some lost dreams on the lost land.

It is a waste of time if we talk about the independence of Tibet because China is itself not a free country. In the dictatorship of the communist party, you cannot expect no freedom of opinion, press, or religion. Tibetans are very much courageous in their battle against the ultra repressive Chinese regime. A fight for freedom in Tibet is actually a fight for freedom in China.

I agree that the fight for freedom is in China also, just that the battle is one against an immovable force, one that has no compassion for its enemies or opponents and who will crush completely and finally any opposition if given a choice, even with the world watching.
