Pelosi Meets with Dalai Llama, Offers Support

What did the Dalai Lama do to deserve this… doesn’t he have enough problems than to entertain Democrats trying to shore up their international creds!
I think it’s my karma to puke.
Perhaps in the cosmic cycle of birth, death and reincarnation, Peliosi will in the next life come back as a jelly-fish, floating in the sea. Drifting along until she comes upon and stings her ancient foe a barracuda… the reincarnation of Hillary.
All kidding aside… everyone please write to Bush and ask him to reconsider his trip to China unless there is real negotiation with Tibet. We have cut them enough slack… we have used the power of capitalism to loosen their economy… now we have to show them our moral conviction. The athletes may go, but Bush and tourists should be discouraged.

The Dalai Llama? Did she pet his nice furry pelt?
I agree with Beebop. That’s really a Dali-esque mental picture!

President Nancy Pelosi said she and the ten congressmen will support the Dalai Llama. What can she do? What is the U.S. position on this? Does she know all the facts or acting like a grandmother? “That alright baby I’ll help you against those bad people.” I wonder if she put on one of those Dalai Llama outfits for a photo shot? Thank you President Pelosi!!

While I find it mighty big of Ms Pelosi to stand with the Dalai Lama, what does she propose that we do. I think all or most of us have those same feelings. China has persecuted the Tibetians for-ever, no one has ever helped. It’s a crying shame to me, that the U.S. helps everyone else in the world, but who dares to confront China? Allow the Tibetians to live in peace. That is all they have ever wanted.

Does Pelosi really know something about Tibet?! NO. The Pelosi Lama knows nothing about it.

who would want a run for cover coward’s support anyway. Polesi cannot be trusted to stay around if the going gets tough.

who would want a run for cover coward’s support anyway. Pelosi cannot be trusted to stay around if the going gets tough.

Pelosi Who???

I am very proud that Senator Pelosi refuses to take China’s oppression sitting down, unlike Bush who only cares about commercial interests, not the Tibetans!

Unless she made this visit as a private citizen, she should be barred from returning to the United States. As a private citizen, she has every right to visit anyone she wants. Anyway, I hope they both had a productive visit.

So Republicans want freedom for Iraqis, but not for Tibetans? Or has their irrational hatred of Nacy Pelosi blinded them to the reality of the situation? Bunch of hypocrites.

Headline should be: “Pelosi looks for international photo-op”. Here closer, in our hemisphere we have Colombia,an ally which has been fighting a narco-guerrilla movement for decades, which now receives millions in aid from Venezuela, and the Democrats give the cold shoulder to Uribe its president.

Hey leftandproud – Pelosi is (unfortunately) a Representative not a Senator. People might take you a bit more serious if you knew what you were talking about.

Im a Republican and I think we should take a STRONG stand against China if these Bastards are allowed to continue flexing their power without any response they will only think they can do what ever they want- wake up people they are our enemy and an enmey of all free people- our grand-children ill have to fight the Bastards someday-

Doesnt she have anything better to do than going to India and talk rubbish about independent Tibet? If she really cares so much about freedom of other people, why not call for the independence of Palestine or Northern Ireland or breaking up Spain, Belgium and a host of other western countries. Leave China alone. And for the record, I am not Chinese.

i think all of you should learn the actual situation before your comment!
can you put up with the killers,rioter and arsonist? why the innocent were killed? your US is trying to protect the criminal instead of denoncing them?
for thousands of years,tibet is a part of China,as all can learn from history.
can the abruption be connived?

Dalai Lama? Talking heads can’t even spell. I had a Lama named Dollie. Best galfriend I ever had. Better than a sheep. I ain’t sure what Karma is, but if Pelosi likes it, it can’t be something I want. Is it some kind of douch or just the gay answer to the redneck bunny hop?
Sure seems to be a bunch of Cali libs here. Is this one of those gay web sites? Cool. Would love to swap pictures of me and Dollie with some of you limp wristed folks. Ya know something to hang in the outhouse right next to the picture of John K with his head bouncing off the front seat in Dallas. Toothless grin.

Although, politically inconvenient and perhaps not well thought out, U.S. representatives have the right to meet with anyone they wished and provide an opinion. Unfortunately, our government is not standing unified in its overall position on China.
While Congress makes ill-timed and meaningless grandstand gestures, the entire G.W. Bush Administration has gone out of its way to accommodate Beijing and its Communist Regime… [something I also blame Clinton for] I’m certain Reagan wouldn’t have done so much so.
Beijing has demanded the world remain quiet in its opinions and threats of condemnation for China’s actions… Mainly because of its current economic might- which may not last long after this. In the East, it’s all about putting on a front and keeping up appearances- something old school Britain is keenly aware of.
Beijing is modernizing its military and attacking the Western powers in cyberspace now. They’re aiming to rival the U.S. and E.U. in space. They’re bribing non-aligned nations to diplomatically isolate Taiwan as if it’s a prelude to events similar to that just before the 1962 Sino-Indian War.
Tibet, [much like outer China], are not made up of cultures of indigenous Chinese [e.g. the Han]. China is held together by force more than anything under the Communist regime. Tibet would be willing to be incorporated into a federal republic with China proper- not subjegated under them.
Beijing is attempting to conduct ‘cultural genocide’ within its closed borders and pull in all of Asia under its dominion not to dissimilar to that of Imperial Japan of World War II. We would be wise to look deeper into the eyes of the dragon- unfortunately, both the Congress and the President are not that deep.

Pelosi should stay home and do the job she was elected to. She’s not qualified for this international grandstanding and she’s going to create more problems for us at a time when we can hardly afford them.

All this talk coming from the Dems on how they will cut back on spending and Pelosi is taking a vacation to Tibet on taxpayer dollars.Now we know why she wanted the biggest plane in the fleet when she took office.So she could take all her phoney Dem friends on vacation with her.Look out Slick Hilly,Slick Nancy wants to take your place as head liar and theif.

Call it splitting hairs if you want, Anna. Most reasonable people would call it being educated as opposed to…well… you. I think Kristy up there is just copying and pasting blurbs! And for the record, Tibet’s human rights were 10x worse under the Dalai Lama’s rule than they are now, ask any Han Chinese.
OK, I gotta get back to work now. NO MORE POSTS FOR ME!

Hey..good idea Nancy! Let’s risk war over Tibet…that has precisely NOTHING that we need, and let’s NOT do anything about the middle east, that happens to have something we need a lot of. I may have the wrong philosophy, but if it’s wrong to fight….then it’s patently wrong ‘and’ stupid to fight when you get nothing out of it. Or perhaps Nancy wasn’t thinking of backing her rhetoric with US force of arms? Yes..I can see China bowing to a silly grandmother from Berkeley simply because she cast her botox manipulated gaze their way. I know that would sure influence me. Oh …wait…NOT!

The quickest way to get rid of this old botoxed crone of a Speaker of the House is to put the Republicans back in the majority. That in itself is not very comforting, but it better that putting up with the overseas shopping trips of that old wrinkled California raisin.

Pretty stupid to pi$$ off the country that is loaning our government the money to fund all her social programs.
If China turns off the cash faucet, Nancy and the rest of the congress will be without funds to do anything and will rendered irrelevant. Hmmm, maybe that is not such a bad thing…

Nancy Pelosi is perfect for this job.
She worked very hard to convert the House of Rep lunch room to veggie health food. Prices only went up 20%.
Now the Dalai Llama can visit Pelosi and have lunch together anytime they want.
Perfect!

The American People,”We the People”, are among the most kind, generous, giving and good hearted people on the planet; dispite the few unkind and frightened trash talkers you find here.
We have become free and stayed free because our souls cry out for freedom. We, by the grace of God and the sacrifice of those who have come before us have given the opportunity for freedom to millions all over the planet in these 200 yeras plus.
Why not the People of Tibet? Is it because of all the cheap stuff we get from China that makes a very few Americans very rich?
Why not these good and kind people? Why do we side with the totalitarian dictators? Is it because we have lost our way and feel more akin to dictators than to the honest, spiritual, hard working, freedom loving people of Tibet?
You may not believe in Buddhism, understand their culture, identify with their leader, but can you idetify with freedom, liberty, and justice?
Would Jesus take sides on this?
Here now is your basic 101 test on being a real American, what side do you take?

More violation of the Logan Act by Pelosi? When is some prosecutorial official in the government going to stand up and file charges? I guess the correct answer is, “not in my lifetime.” Today’s federal government only seems to exist to serve itself.

Nancy Pelosi and our Congressional delegation represents the spirit and soul of a proud freedom loving people.
Those who can so easily trash our own people, our own government, our values, our vision and personalize it in such an ugly and even evil way are not my countrymen.
Who are these people who lurk in the darkness and spit out lies and disgusting remarks, as if they are superior to good people, kind people, just people, people of faith and lovers of God.
My heart tells me these people are just the kind of people who would take away our freedom if they had half a chance. They would imprison us for thinking and hoping for a better world. They would in fact crucify those who got in their way.
How are these people different from the totalitarians we have fought for 200 plus years?
Here is a case where you are either for us or against “We the People”.

Instead of instigating riots when they aren’t sitting around their village square stuffing their faces with ice cream and talking on their cell phones, maybe the Drepung Monastery monks ought to be cleaning up the pig sty that surrounds their monastery with literally thousands of styrofoam takeout containers. People have this mystical, mythological idea about Tibet and the people that live there that is worlds apart from reality.

Pelosi,
You are pathetic!
Don’t try to get Asian votes know after Obama dumped white people. He has never mention one single word about Asian voters before and now he wants Asian vote for him???
FORGET IT!
I have lots of Asian colleage they are not favor him at all.
Don’t even try it..
Make you even cheaper and low.

Now you all know why Pelosi hates Hillary because she is the one wants to become president.

This is none of the United States business. These same people (Pelosi et al) would pull troops out of Iraq and send them to Darfur!

So when is Bush going to grow a spine and have Pelosi charged for overstepping her powers?
This is the second time she has done this since becoming speaker.

What is Pelosi doing over there??? That is not her job. Her job does not involve FOREIGN AFFAIRS!!
I hope that trip is not being paid by tax payers money, but by her own.. and that it is on her own Free time!

Since 1949 when Mao invaded Tibet, China brought millions of Chinese inti Tibet.
China is a liar to the whole world. All good jobs are for Chinese, Tibetan college graduates are offered to be tourist guide or to be servants in hotel. All local government positions are offered only to Chinese.
China is lying to the world when they say they treat equally with Tibetans.
China wants to destroy Tibetan culture and language.
The world please help us, poor Tibetans

PLEASE HELP TIBETANS.
CHINA IS SENDING 15,000 CHINESE TROOPS TO ROUND UP ALL YOUNG TIBETANS IN LHASA AND SMALL TOWN AROUND TIBET.
MANY YOUNG TIBETANS ARE CURRENTLY IN CHINESE CUSTODY.
SOME YOUNG TIBETANS WERE SHOT TO DEATH RIGHT IN CHINESE POLICE STATION.
CHINA IS TRYING NOT LET ANY THIS KIND OF BAD NEWS GETTING OUT OF TIBET
PLEASE, PLEASE THE WORLD HELP TIBETANS RIGHT NOW.
HU JIN TAO IS ANGRY AT TIBETANS BECAUSE OLYMPIC IS ALREADY TAINTED WITH TIBETAN BLOOD.
PLEASE HELP TIBET & TIBETANS.
WE ARE NOT CHINESE, WE ARE TIBETANS.

What kind of support? A photo op? These people with the “Free Tibet” bumper stickers need to realize that the only way a totalitarian regime will let go of anything is through military action. Now who really wants to fight China over Tibet?

Boycott China!

Thanks a lot Pelosi.
We need action NOW.
Mark and Hui, if Tibet is better than Afghanistan does it mean China is not occupying it illegally and torturing Tibetans?
Army load of Chinese police and army, why are they sent there if Tibetans are happy.
Boycott chinese goods NOW!!
Economic boycott of China is the only remedy for China to respect human rights and stop meddling in peaceloving peoples’ affairs and support nefarious dictators like Sudan. Recently acquired wealth is being used to buy tinpot dictators in africa and also blindfolding some of the good leaders.
It shall end now!!

Most of the above comments are void of compassion for those in Tibet; and most reflect the political struggle of left and right politics. There is a place for that struggle but not here.
Americans of all stripes need to compartmentalize their ideology and reserve it for those moment when it is appropriate.
Dying Tebetians, at the hands of the Chinese Government should cause reflection of what are values as a people are, compassion for the dead, dying and tortured – and unity.
Bless you all,
Jim

I don’t care for much of Pelosi’s politics, but I have to applaud her here. Tibetens should rule Tibet. Not the Chinese. How would the Mexicans feel if we rolled in there with tanks and started to run things? Yes, the U.S. is now married up with China through our various business deals, but it may be time to get a divorce. I’ll take a divorce over an abusive relationship.

What kind of support??? moral??? Religious???

Bunch of Tibetan supporters here who couldn’t even tell you the name of its capital joining the bandwagon. It appears that irrespective of our own troubles in Iraq, at home and elsewhere, bashing China is always fashionable. Tibet is a complex problem that can’t be solved with slogans like “Free Tibet” and Pelosi PR trips.

I’d support the secession of Vermont.

As humans we face the “crisis of love”.
How long must we endure the sepratism, selfishness, hate, fear, and terror inflicted upon humanity?
Every crisis is also an opportunity.
May we as a species have our resurrection and adopt love and abandon hate, may we come together for mutual healing and stop inflecting such pain and suffering on each other, may we look on our fellow humans as brothers and sisters and not enemies, may we speak words of kindness and not words of destruction, may we embrace each other as children of God.
There are billions of people on this Earth and we can’t expected them all to understand each other without trying, without extending a hand, without listening and learning.
In the West we look to Jesus Christ as our example of Love. In the East many look to the Buddha as their example of Compassion.
Can we bring these inspirations together in loving wise compassion for the sake of the children of the future?

I laugh to hear the bleeding hearts about karma, etc. Peaceful resistance never solved anything- but troops and missiles do. The US needs to stop importing from and exporting raw materials to China.

A while back, in Santa Monica, all the Bougeous Bohemians (Bo-Bos to you all) decked out their Volvos and Range Rovers with “Free Tibet” bumper stickers. Then, as they got new cars, they got a new bumper sticker: “War Is Not The Answer.” I’m kind of thinking, as I look at Nancy P’s strong words, that war might be about the only answer that doesn’t ring hollow…

She should have read a little more on etiquette and not taken such an offensive stance with her head above that of the Dali. But this shows her lack of real thought.

Right, PELOSI should shut up and go back to learn some history and chinese today’s social cultures, and then come back to comment !!!
This is a real tragedy for American to have such a leader who using this sensitive time to complete a “Planned” visiting, for sure she does not have market inside America now, but she like people to hear her voice, so the world market, the fact is the result of this stupid behave is nothing difference from the killing happened on the campus of Virginia Polytechnic Institute, I think she is much stupid than George W. Bush.

Speaker Pelosi is off base on many foreign policy issues. For example, she should quit undermining our efforts in Iraq, at least until we have completed the mission or waved the white surrender flag. However, she is to be commended for her support for the oppressed Tibetan people.
Boycott Chinese goods unless and until the Chinese goons leave the Tibetans alone!

Once again we are purportedly represented by an extraordinarily self-absorbed woman, who was elected only to Congress, and then by 110,000 votes in a safe district. This is about the same number of votes required to become mayor of Philadelphia. This is why our Founders wisely arranged for foreign policy to be conducted exclusively by the President of the United States. Since her treasonous visit to Syria, Pelosi should have been handcuffed to a cable car in San Francisco.

SHE SHOULD LEAVE THE COUNTRY SINCE HER AND DEAN HAVE CREATED THIS MESS.
PLUS SHE HAS DONE NOTHING IN THE CONGRESS THAT WE WOULD NEED HER TO RETURN.

San Fran Nan continues to show how ill-prepared she is for the job that she doesn’t deserve to have.
Intellectually she’s completely out of league, emotionally she’s useless.
The fact that she continues to stick her nose into foriegn policy like this shows how completely out of control Congress as a whole is.
Term limits are needed so bad it’s not funny. Why is it a president only gets two terms but the American people are stuck with people like Pelosi and Byrd for a lifetime?

polosi is for big bussiness.she had the boarder fence put on indefinate hold.her and hillary should get married. this election is over ! while the dems are destroying themselves,and the party.McCAIN IS DOING PRESIDENTIAL WORK,NOT STARTING RACIAL WARS.HILLARY HAS A BIG FRAUD CASE COMMING UP.THATS WHY HER CRIMINAL RECORDS ARE SEALED.BOTH SOCIALISTS GAVE THE RACE TO THE REPUBLICANS.JUST ANOTHER TYPICAL WHITE PERSON.

SO ? THANKS TO OUR SOCIALIST LIBS ! WERE LOOKING AT RACIAL WARS NOW.IMUS GETS FIRED,BUT WHEN A BLACK SAYS WRONG THINGS THEY GET NOTHING.I AM SICK OF THIS ONE WAY CRAP.OH THE POOR BLACK ME BOO-HOO ROUTINE.IF THAT SO CALLED PRIEST WAS WHITE, AND SAID STUPID CRAP,THE STREETS WOULD BE FULL OF FIRES,AND LOOTING. JUST ANOTHER TYPICAL WHITE PERSON.

Ms. Pelosi, your time would be better
spend visiting Jeremiah Wright’s
so called “church” and stop it from
it’s racists and anti-american venom ??

I just wonder how many of you on here screaming that we should make a stand against China, are drivung around with and anti-war bumper sticker. Where was your passion when Saddam was chucking men off of buildings for entertainment? Oh, I see….your proffesor didn’t tell you to make a stand on that one huh? Don’t forget..its was your hero Clinton that gave China a BIIIIG boost during his administration. They hypocracy of the left will never stop blowing my mind. Its also obvious that those on here praising her actions know absolutley nothing of foreign diplomacy.

Oh, now suddenly supporting a religion is ok even when the supported is a religious dictator – if that was Jerry Falwell, in sole control of a Christian Tibet, Pelosi and her Christian hating Demos and lefty also-rans would be telling us how great China is for getting rid of those right wing conservative fascist homeophobic anti-choice yeyhoos!!!

Once again we are seeing a useless example of how our tax paying dollars are being spent! This useless San Francisco liberal windbag feels compelled to upstage our country in a roll that is best served by the President and international diplomacy. No wonder the Democratic Congress has an approval rating of 20%. Get your ### home where it belongs, Nancy! What unbelievable chutzpah!

Perhaps, Nancy and Obama can send in the 3rd Brigade. It’s just a hop skip and jump from Pakistan.

Hopefully, the blessing will help her to make better decisions.

no woman President will be able to do a face to face with those hard nose chinese men who run that nation. Bush where are you when the need for Democracy’s leadership is calling.

Nancy Pelosi, your friend! Poor guy, with friends like that he may as well change his name to Clinton…

Nancy Pelosi, your friend! Poor guy, with friends like that he may as well change his name to Clinton…

3rd in line…

San Fran Nan could make better use of her free time between botox treatments by fumigating her own congressional district. As to gravitas, she’s lighter than air. This move is beyond belief. No wonder she and her cohorts in congress have lower approval ratings than the President. For anyone in favor of this excursion I have one question: What did this trip accomplish? In one word: nothing.
Anyhow, was that Loretta Switt or a weird kabuki mask in the background of the picture on Drudge? I suppose being a washed up has been doesn’t buy you the same plastic surgery it used to. Just what is it with has been celebrities and their warped sense of entitlement to share their idiotic political views with the rest of the world?

This woman is NUTS! She thinks she is the constitutioanl officer charged with foreign relations. She is another one of the fruits and nuts set to Congress by democrats.
She is not only ignorant but dangerous.

Here is what the Chinese government has to say about the Dalai Lama and Tibet:
People with some basic knowledge of the Tibetan history all know that feudal serfdom and theocracy, which were a dictatorship of upper-class monks and nobles, were practiced in the old Tibet under the 14th Dalai Lama, and that the Dalai Lama was the head of serf owners exercising feudal rule. Under that regime, the overwhelming majority of Tibetans were either serfs or slaves deprived of personal freedom. They were often traded or given away as gifts by their owners, and were subjected to torture in extremely inhumane conditions in their owners’ private prisons. Serfdom in the old Tibet was no less cruel and brutal than that practiced in Medieval Europe.
After Tibet’s peaceful liberation in 1951, the serfs and slaves in Tibet strongly demanded the abolition of feudal serfdom and the introduction of democratic reform. However, some members of the Tibetan ruling clique were obstinately opposed to reform. They tried to perpetuate feudal serfdom in Tibet to protect their vested interests. They launched an all-round armed rebellion in 1959, and openly made separatist call for “Tibet independence.” With the support of Tibetan lamas and people, the Central Government speedily quelled this rebellion aimed at splitting China. In order to restore the dark autocratic feudal serfdom, the Dalai Lama fled China, thus setting himself against the Central Government and the Tibetan people. The Dalai Lama has tried hard not to face the truth of his cruel rule in the old Tibet, and he has never shown any repentance for it. Yet he has posed as the “spokesman” of freedom of Tibet and the “champion” of human rights and human dignity in an attempt to mislead the international community. To glorify the Dalai Lama for his so-called “contribution” to the advancement of human rights and call him a “fighter for human rights” not only distorts history but also makes a mockery of freedom, human rights and human dignity.
After the Dalai Lama went into exile following the failed armed rebellion, democratic reform was introduced in Tibet in response to the strong call of the Tibetan people. Feudal serfdom, a most barbarous system, was abolished and regional autonomy was instituted in Tibet in 1965. The serfs and slaves under the Dalai Lama’s rule are now masters of their own house, and they take an active part in the running of state affairs and fully exercise autonomous rights provided for by China’s Constitution and laws. The Tibetan people exercise regional autonomy and manage their ethnic affairs. Tremendous social and economic changes have taken place in Tibet thanks to the support of the Central Government and people across China. Tibet’s population has grown to 2.81 million from about 1.15 million at the time of peaceful liberation, of whom the vast majority are Tibetans. With Tibet’s economy growing at a rate of over 12 percent for many years, there has been fundamental improvement in the lives of the Tibetan people. The opening of the Qinghai-Tibet railway, a great historic undertaking, will greatly boost the economic and social development in Tibet. There was not a single modern school in old Tibet, whereas by the end of 2006, Tibet had 1,011 schools at various levels, enrolling 534,000 students, or 94 percent of school-age children. The rights of the Tibetan people are ensured by law. Tibet’s traditional culture is well preserved. Freedom of religious belief is fully guaranteed. There are 1,780 lamaseries in Tibet with more than 46,000 lamas and nuns. The state has allocated huge amount of funding in these years for the maintenance of lamaseries. Both the Central Government and the Tibetan autonomous government have always given top priority to ensuring proper balance between economic development and environmental protection. There are now in Tibet 38 nature reserves, covering a total are of 410,000 square kilometers. Environmental monitoring shows that Tibet has a good environment. Its water and air are basically pollution free, most of its areas are in a natural state and Tibet has one of the best natural environments in the world. Tibet has never enjoyed such development and stability as it does today.

If Pelosi and her far left freaks feel that we have no business in Iraq, why is she opinionating on China and Tibet. Double standard?

Let’s See. The first 100 days: Bring your cronies into your circle. The second 100 days: nothing. Finally she does something and it has politics all over it. Do I heat rub GW’s face in this? Would she do this with any President? You betcha and if she was Commander in Chief she would make heads role for thois kind of showboating. The people of Tibet deserved oour support years ago, did they get it?

I love the Dolly Llama. She was great in that pic with Burt Reynolds where she played a madam of a Texas bordello. Very funny stuff.
I didn’t realize she was in trouble with the Chinese, I didn’t even know she was Chinese.

I’m essentially an isolationist, but if our government is going to talk the talk about going up against the enemies of freedom, then it’s about time we stood up to one of freedom’s worst enemies, China. And the internet goons can make all the stupid comments they want, if they don’t like the way our government does business, stop electing self-motivated idiots like Pelosi and W into office and start electing the people who give a damn.

Wow, there is a lot of hatred expressed in these responses. Much of it is the typical liberal mantra “Blame America” or “Blame Bush”. Our nation is so divided within that it become more and more likely that it will not survive as we know it. It won’t get better, only worse no matter who is in office. Why?Because no one can unite a nation that doesn’t want to be united! Pelosi is the worst offender and she is a fool. She does everyhing in her power to divide America, because she hates Bush so much. What authority does she have to make any commitment to the Dalai Lama. Any committments to any foreign leader must go through the State Department. There can be significant consequences of speaking out of turn. China is not really our friend, but there are important considerations to weigh before one confronts a potential military enemy. There is a right way, a wrong way, and the Nancy Pelosi way. Those of you libs who support her in this need your heads examined! You have no idea what is really happening in the world and where we are headed. Nor do you care so long as you get to spout your hatred and get your “freebies” at taxpayers expense. How pathetic!

China raises torch to celebrate Olympic spirit, while Dalai raises torch to burn down Han Chinese shops. What a stark contrast.

“If freedom loving people don’t speak out against China’s oppression of people in Tibet, we have lost all moral authority to speak out against any oppressed people.”
Of course she isn’t going to do anything other than “speak out” and maybe help them with a minimum wage increase bill.

i Promised many facts you look is not turh.i am chinese.i dont Understand why your Government and the media tell lies.
they want you hate china??
i dont Understand,we never hurt General people but the killer!
your Government and the media tell lies such as:

Nancy Pelosi has no more right to represent our government in foreign policy than I do. We have a Secretary of State whose job it is to speak for our government, whether that be run by a republican or a democrat.
Mrs. Pelosi ought to stay out of the foreign policy basis.

I’ve been to Tibet twice in the past decade.I don’t really care who’re ruling or who used to rule that area.What I saw as a tourist was all changes that had taken place there.More roads linking Tibet to the outside world were built and the Tibetans(not Hans)showed happy faces with more working opportunities brought by the modernization as I call it.I do agree with J.D!

Now we know why Pelosi isn’t supporting Hillary, she wants to be the first female president! Forget it, Nancy, your motives are too transparent already.

Quick, somebody send Bush a note telling him there is OIL in TIBET, We’ll have troops in there next week, “TO SPREAD DEMOCRACY”, While Bush’s oil buddies drain em dry!!

Tibet Autonomous Regional Academy of Social Sciences Institute of Economic Research deputy director of the Wang Yuan in an interview with reporters, said that more than half a century since the peaceful liberation of Tibet, the central concern and strong support for Tibet’s economic and social development, the Tibetan people of all ethnic groups strive to improve the production and living conditions , Tibet’s infrastructure has been effectively improve the economic and social development has entered a new historical stage. Especially after the opening of the Qinghai-Tibet Railway, Tibet’s economic and social development by leaps and bounds ushered in a great situation. Tibet’s population from 1951 to 1.1409 million people to more than 280 million people, which still accounted for the vast majority of the Tibetan population; first liberated from the average life expectancy of 35.5 years to 67 years. Over the past years, Tibet’s economic and social sustained and stable development for seven consecutive years, to maintain more than 12 percent growth rate the past five years, the central government and the autonomous regional government of Tibet agricultural input funds totaling 16.5 billion yuan over the past five years grew by 1.3 times, the production and living conditions of peasants and herdsmen significant improvement, compulsory education, rural and pastoral areas the health care system and the minimum life security system covering the whole region, the per capita net income of farmers and herdsmen five consecutive years of double-digit growth.

Once again, the forces of intolerance and violence are loudly trumpeting against Speaker Pelosi for speaking out on human rights issues. All reasonable people should stand up for better human relations everywhere. Tibet, like darfur, Burma, Zimbabwe and other places wher human rights is being trmpled under the feet of principals of dictatorial regimes, deserves better. It is a gaping wound in the conscience of the international community. To dismiss the fight for human rights, autonomy and freedom in Tibet–a place that China took by force under Chairman Mao–is not just a “hollywood” fiction, but human necessity and imperative.

wow, the Queen Bee acting out against CHina, but the Dems love China and all other communists.
Some have questioned the purpose or success of the trip, what about the pricetag. Why are they on vacation when they are never in session?

It was a great gesture from American politician!
Our President should have said it before any democrat did. There shouldn’t be double standard in human rights! We should reach out to Tibet and help them to get rid of communist oppression.
Olympic games should also be boycotted!

So these “freedom loving people” deserve more of a chance than people in Iraq and Afghanistan. The hypocracy is ridiculous. Neo-cons and liberals are the same, intervene, intervene, and intervene some more but criticize the other sides intervention in order to get into power.

All these years as China was slowly destroying Tibet, the U.S. did nothing but “watch”! And, now Her Highness The Pelosi “dares” to lend a helping hand to China – oops, sorry, to Tibet!

Here’s some karma for my Republican friends……………….

A shame the world didn’t put up this kind of fuss when Saddam & Sons were gassing, raping and maiming. What happens now? Pelosi and that worthless gaggle of bafoons at the U.N. publicly wag their fingers at China and it quietly fades out of the spotlight. Make no mistake, that show was for HER benefit, not for the opressed people of Tibet.

There is a big difference between Darfur and Tibet and invading Iraq for oil, unless they both have oil I don’t know about.
I do understand though that every time we get involved in any way we are bashed. So is the answer to stay out of all other politics in other countries? I guess there is a case for that. And a case for just getting involved if our interest are at stake. Still we call ourselves a humanitarian country so we get involved. We can act like the rest of the world and only care for number one.
We usually cannot win in global opinion no matter what we do.

Fascinating. What is Pelosi hoping for? She’s potentially destroyed the probability of another term for the democratic House, so is she looking to gain a Cabinet post? Secretary of State?

Why would Francis Urquhart call for God’s blessing on Nancy Pelosi, when she clearly is an adherant of universal karma, not a believer in a personal God. Get this wide-eyed pretender to intelligent leadership off the stage of international policy-making, please.

that would be “misplaced sense of nationalism” in the last post.
well done Pelosie.

Stop wasting tax payers’ money on supporting Tibetan Separatist,
Dalai Lama and his allies are just rubbish dumped by Chinese people !!
