Borders

The Dalai Lama presents the big question that faces the world today. Small countries that seek autonomy but cannot defend itself on its own are easily in peril. Who defends these countries? The united nations was a good idea but when it comes to hard cash and soldier lives very few nations will oblige unless there is a direct profit involved. Dalai Lama's strategy of asking the world to save Tibet from China is not working. In fact its hard to say what will work. If expressing solidarity by world leaders really worked suu kyi will be walking free. The only way Tibet can free itself is if Tibet makes China lose all interest in annexing it. Perhaps noncooperation (Gandhi's strategy) is its only option. Sometimes its the will of the people more than an army of people that do the trick. The increasing challenge Dalai Lama faces today is that people in Tibet may be happy with their chinese connection and do not want to return to old ways.
