Who is Nancy Pelosi to speak about peace when it was her government that had caused more violence and instability to Iraq today? Can she tell the world that in America such violent protests in her country had never caused any death? What is Nancy 's definition of a 'crackdown'? If there is no 'violent protests' there is no need for the Chinese Government to act on the Dalai Lama's hooligans, to protect the Chinese' lives and property. So what is wrong if 'crackdown' is defined in this term?

Do not be fooled by a Buddhist robe! One must be judged by one's action and not by what one wears or speaks. The Dalai Lama wants to appear to the world as a peaceful spiritual leader calling 'for restraints' by the Chinese Government against the protests. If his followers' protests were all along intended to be peaceful then there is no need for any call 'for restraints', unless the protests were all along intended to be violent.

The Dalai Lama is nothing more than a frustrated ambitious spiritual leader leading his own self-created 'government-in-exile'. His time is running out and therefore is responsible for encouraging the violent protests in Tibet to create the uprising. He had never called for 'non-violent protest' but only for the Chinese Government 'for restraints'.

The inaction by the Dalai Lama to rebuke his followers for their violent protests speaks volumes for his intent. While he denounces Beijing 's use of force against his followers that he did not denounce his followers from stoning, beating and killing the Chinese as well to burning shops.  

The Dalai Lama knows that violence from his followers would result in many more people being hurt and killed and forcing the Chinese Government to act. How does one react to violent protest when protesters beat and burn Chinese shops and homes? How would one control the violent protests in Tibet without any loss of life? Had it been a peaceful protest there would not be any need for armed police. How can anyone allow the Tibetans break the social harmony and create social unrest by beating, killing and burning Chinese properties?

Many foreigners condemn the Chinese Government's actions without any understanding of the complex political situation in China and Tibet . I personally do not subscribe to the 'western style' of democracy where 'social stability and harmony' are placed second to 'personal interests and benefits'.
