“Hello Dalai!”
Good one!
LOL!!!
Why is this the first time I’m ever hearing of his views on terrorism and agreeing with GWB? Strange. Surely he’s voiced this before now. Maybe this will be obama’s way out of his promises to the far left.
Maybe he heard the song “Afternoon Delight” back during the ‘70’s.
...So he’s got that going for him?
Which is nice.
Big hitter the Lama.
Chrissy and Keith are sure to report on this.
Gere will probably change his religion now.
The Dalai Lama again shows the depth of his wisdom. He is absolutely correct that the terrorists have closed minds and cannot be reasoned with or appeased.
“It is difficult to deal with terrorism through non-violence,” the Tibetan spiritual leader said delivering the Madhavrao Scindia Memorial Lecture here.
He also termed terrorism as the worst kind of violence which is not carried by a few mad people but by those who are very brilliant and educated.
“They (terrorists) are very brilliant and educated...but a strong ill feeling is bred in them. Their minds are closed,” the Dalai Lama said. “
He speaks common sense. I have respect for him with these comments.
I wrote him off after he revealed that he was a Marxist. These new comments are very interesting.
You have got to be kidding. Is this an urban legend?
I did that too.
Perhaps he sees this stuff for what it really is. Strong leadership isn’t always peaceful. I imagine he met Bush and realized that Bush was strong and a practical man and just as spiritual.
People forget that Christianity isn’t about being conventional, but being rebellious in it’s own way. Jesus wasn’t simply a gentle man, but a man determined to go the right way and point it out so others could freely follow.
Bush did the same thing.
