Yes, it creates entangling affairs between countries who would otherwise remain neutral. I disagree with our involvement because we are susceptible to any and every UN discretion where a decision is reached to mobilize our participating US forces (or any nations forces in the UN, for that matter). I believe our congress should be given the sole right to allow a military operation of any kind. I also believe a congressional declaration of war is necessary to prevent engagements for the 'spread of democracy' such as Korea, Vietnam, and Iraq.

I just read an amazing post by Pierre Fort about Tibet becoming the next Palestine. He equates Israel to China. Here is the full piece including diverse comments.

Deal All,

I was quite convinced with what Dalai Lama conveyed and symphatized him few years ago. Not until I have visited Tibet, I realized that the commoners in Tibet are happy with what they have now and live in harmony. None of them wish to declare independence and they felt they have sufficient freedom to perform their religious ritual and belief.

The current riot and chaos are obviously caused by a small group of hooligans and they killed commoners and destroyed public and private properties which is unforgiveable even by democratic countries like Europe and US. These hooligans should be prosecuted and the mastermind should be sentenced.

I suspected that there should be someone organizing and plot the ploy to attack China, specifially on the BeiJing Olympics.

In addition, buddhist monks should not involve riots and demonstration as this has go against the buddha teaching of peace and harmony. This applies to Myammar buddhist monks as well. I wonder if these monks have joined in the political world and not practicing their prayers anymore.

Dalai Lama as a spiritual leader should condemn the violence caused by the monks and hooligans or rooters. Causing sufferings and sorrows to the commoners is a big sin and I urge Dalai Lama to prevent such occurence and not running away or neglect his responsibility as a spiritual leader.

We want peace!
