The Dalai Lama deserves the award...our reasons for giving it to him have nothing to do with the PRC anyway. The fact that it pisses them off is just a bonus.

He does deserve the award. And as a Buddhist I'm glad he got it. For a leader he's a good one. I don't care about the other stuff. Just wind.

So no, I dont think it was done specifically to "tweak" China...I think the desire to give him the medal was sincere and would have been done even if China didnt care at all.

Fair enough. Can't really argue the point.
