Out of the blue, there is at least some sensible people who is willing to use logical reasoning to tell us what needs to be done to help the common Tibetans. There is too much emotions and unnecessary rhetorics being thrown around with the exile Dalai Lama the main culprit for flaming up the tension. Whatever compassion pretended by Dalai Lama is not in line with Buddhist teaching when he keep pushing his luck without considering the position of the Chinese and the world community at large.
I totally agree, why don't Iran give up their independence and become a part of China?
After all, Iran would be much more prosperous, and they would enjoy lots of subsidies and infrastructure investments (railroad from Beijing to Teheran). I am sure lots of Chinese people would also like to settle in Iran and Iranian culture would be enriched by Chinese culture.
This would be a poke in the eye to those western imperialists!
