Why're you blaming the country itself now? And can I say that just because the past dalai lamas have been shite doesn't mean the current one is insanely evil? Hell, if you read that Parenti essay, he doesn't put blame on the current dalai lama and mentions a few positive things the lama has said.JMhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03223879013564312871noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1244044300216345080.post-36528857260205652242008-11-10T00:17:00.000+00:002008-11-10T00:17:00.000+00:00ahh Nato, damn there is a choice expression from C...ahh Nato, damn there is a choice expression from China, which is basically "he's an empty windbag of no account", sadly I forget the precise wording, but you get the point?<br><br>NATO can't scratch together enough troops to defeat the Taliban, they are useless, even on their own terms<br><br>the likelihood of anyone deliberately provoking a military conflict with China over Tibet is less than zero.<br><br>Carol Thatcher is more likely to be appointed National Secretary of the SWP, along with John Redwood becoming SWP's Industrial Organiser.<br><br>it is NOT going to happen.<br><br>The Western ruling classes are in lockstep with China's elite, sure they'll moan a bit but they are tied together at the hip.ModernityBloghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06354254639321208955noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1244044300216345080.post-68046131376569060442008-11-09T23:57:00.000+00:002008-11-09T23:57:00.000+00:00... you'll have to ask your friend if he/she g...<i>... you'll have to ask your friend if he/she gets their information from the Socialist Worker's military correspondent? </i><br><br>LOL!
