I was saddened today to hear about the Dalai Lama's statement today
that he may resign if the violence in Tibet does not stop. I hope it
does not come to such a sorry pass.
Amongst his people in exile he has worked to promote participatory
democracy, and it has worked out suprisingly well. So well infact,
that many other countries could learn something by this experiment in
democracy the Tibetans in exile have made. It strikes me that if the
Chinese wish for more peaceful co-existance between Tibetans and
Chinese in Tibet, then introducing participatory democracy into the
region would be a very good way to bring the peoples living in the
area together.
Most of the time, people are not divided along religious lines in
matters of healthcare, sanitation, commerce and schooling. In a
participatory democracy people have the opportunity to see this as
they come together to discuss common problems, and this fosters trust
in each other and their neighbours. It can build good community
relations across cultural divides.

It is obvious that the Dalai Lama knows what the truth behind all
these riots really is - disillusioned social drop-outs that only want
to create trouble in the hope that by destroying the establishment
they can create a society that suits themselves. These trouble makers
will never be of any use to any society, not even their own. They
should be rounded up and shot, and good riddance!

People who think others to be rounded up and shot should be rounded up and
shot.
That will solve all the problems.

Is that you think is happening in Iraq? I don't think so.

Do you believe people can be forced to change their beliefs by making
unfulfilled threats?
