Tibet supporters, cut to the chase and do something real.
The U.S. and all democratic countries should firmly stand up for Tibetans and show the world that we are the leader of freedom and democracy. At a minimum we should re-open the CIA military training camp for Tibet freedom fighters at Camp Hale near Leadville, Colorado. They already worked with CIA in 1950's-1970's. Now it is time for us to refresh our obligation to the human rights of those oppressed Tibetans.
Sure, the economy is not going perfect and may pose some financial problems for the operation. But it is our moral obligation that freedom is noble and worth fighting for, that freedom is not to be traded with cheap toys and apparel made by Chinese sweat labor. We can rally help among our rich democratic allies for the Free Tibet cause. We can ask Japanese, as they should remember that Dalai Lama enthusiastically endorsed a Japanese spiritual movement,'Aum Shinrikyo', in 1980's-1990's. We can also ask Germans, who had deep connections with Tibet in 1930's and 1940's. Dalai Lama's tutor in 1940's was Heinrich Harrer, a member of the 'Schutzstaffel'. Together we can form a coalition force making Tibet our dreamed Shangri-La.
Let's do it! |
