This was reported back in the summer of 2006, actually. www.chinadaily.com.cn/china/2006-07/28/content_652320.htm However, the living Buddha is news to me.

...of course, I'd much rather keep my head and live in Tibet, if given a choice, but my point is that comparing the two is a little silly because the similarities are few.

Ridiculous comparison. Iraq has its own government (democratic, actually), the US did not deliberately try to destroy its culture or transplant its citizens to Iraq, the US does not try to choose Iraqi religious leaders, and there are more troops in Tibet after 50 years than there are in Iraq. Also, an Iraqi may walk-up to a US soldier and tell him to get out of his country. You know what would happen... Let's say this: if that railroad was in Iraq, sinking would not be the problem.

That's because China rapes, pillages, then sucks out the life force of every territory it conquers. Look what wonders Han conquest has done for other parts of China: heavily polluted, worthless water (if there is water), massive deforestation and minority groups who have been stripped of their souls. All that is left is a small band shining shoes, making tourist toys and dancing for tourists.

At least China plans to keep Tibet. Seems the US just wants to rape and pillage and then get the F out.

China's had Tibet over the barrel for 50 years and is trying to assimilate it into "greater china". We're in Iraq just to grab the oil.
