The Dali Lama and Casey Anthony Fleeing for their Lives

So Casey Anthony, the name we're  all sick of, is apparently going to get sick off of us. How could you not vomit at the though of thousands of people wanting to serve you death?  According to the article she has received several death threats (Charles Greene) and has a Facebook page with 775,000 people known as "F---Casey Anthony." The problem is that Anthony can't afford to flee with a mustache disguise and pink dyed hair. Hopefully the public will move on to the next trial, Conrad Murray case, or get distracted by shiny toasters. Maybe she'll by imaginary killed by Zenaida Gonzalez.  

In other things that matter Obama actually pissed off one of the most peaceful men in existence, the Dali Lama. He did this by stating that according to U.S. policy, "Tibet is a part of the People's Republic of China and the United States does not support independence for Tibet," so said the White House (CNN Wire Staff).


If you do a bit of history searching you can find that Tibet wanting independence from China is a tad remindful of our own history where Europe tries to keep unity for economic reasons. Except here there's a reverse factor. "Generally speaking, from 1900 to the end of the 1930’s, the US Government took Tibet as a part of China, against Great Britain’s denial of China’s sovereignty over Tibet" (Hu Yan 3). America sits back and ignores things such as“The Chinese Government have long claimed suzerainty over Tibet, the Chinese constitution lists Tibet among the areas constituting the territory of the Republic of China, and … [the U.S.] … Government has at no time raised questions regarding either of these claims” (HU YAN 4).  


Great Britian went along with India in a retort to America's sit back and lounge with potato chips approach by sending a memorandum in 1943 using India's words,“The Government of India has always held that Tibet is a separate country in full enjoyment of local autonomy, entitled to exchange diplomatic repre­sentatives with other Powers.  The relationship between China and Tibet is not a matter that can be unilaterally decided by China, but one on which Tibet is entitled to negotiate, and on which she can, if necessary, count on the diplomatic support of the British Government along the lines shown above.” Great Britain was actually standing up for independence and peace while we decided it was in our interest to leave them be, watching leaves in a struggle against fire, (because they drink tea, you can laugh). 


After a dispute over whether Tibet could decide how their land was used, China sent troops over to Tibet since they would not allow a transfer of war materials from India to inland China via Tibet, and the Chinese felt sure of US support thus were not afraid to put Tibet in fear (Hu Yan 4). Also note that Tibet is a peaceful place, who do you think would have the strongest army of buffed men and shiny guns? 


The US then noticed that Communist Party of China could be taking over and that this was against our well being since Russia's close ties might make them our enemy (Hu Yan 6). In 1959 the 14th Dali Lama fled Tiber after the Seventeen Point Amendment was signed. America discouraged this signing. 


America's interest in Tibet is generally in favor of China and never seems to truly care for Tibet. Tibet is a peaceful place that makes beautiful colored sand, video, and merely wants to remain that way.

The Dali Lama fled due to fear for his life. A place in this world that just wants to be itself and sip tea while mediating is subjected to war and hatred merely for existing and America chooses to let it happen. Isn't Obama, winner of the Nobel Peace Prize supposed to be about Hope and Change not Let's Sit Back and Watch them Fall?  


The movie that best tells the tale is Seven Years in Tibet.
