Maybe the Dalai Llama has an inside deal for Osama to deliver new sherpas in the spring.

LONDON: If Osama Bin Laden were killed, that hatred would cause another 10 like him to spring up, the Dalai Lama said in an interview with a British newspaper published on Saturday. In a wide-ranging interview with the London-based Daily Telegraph, the exiled Tibetan spiritual leader said that terrorists should be treated humanely, revealed the workings of his relationship with US President George W Bush, repeated his opposition to homosexuality and said that westerners had become too self-absorbed. The Dalai Lama said modern terrorism was born out of jealousy of western lifestyles. “Fundamentalism is terrifying because it is based purely on emotion, rather than intelligence,” the 70-year-old monk said at the seat of his government-in-exile in the northern Indian hilltop town of Dharamsala. “It prevents followers from thinking as individuals and about the good of the world. “This new terrorism has been brewing for many years. Much of it is caused by jealousy and frustration at the West because it looks so highly developed and successful on television. Leaders in the East use religion to counter that, to bind these countries together.” He warned that terrorists must be treated humanely, “otherwise, the problem will escalate. If there is one Bin Laden killed today, soon there will be 10 Bin Ladens. Awesome. Ten Bin Ladens killed, the hatred is spread; 100 bombed, and 1,000 lose members of their families”. Although he appeared not to approve of the war in Iraq, he was admiring of Bush, calling him “very straightforward” and saying that he had an astonishing grasp of Buddhism. He told the broadsheet that westerners had become self-absorbed, burdened with too much choice. afp
LOL.....the dems just can't catch a break. Their new platform begins and ends with capturing/killing OBL.
Ever taken a REAL tour of Club Gitmo, your "toga"-ness ?
How's that whole Buddism thing doing for Tibet?
Then we'll kill them too. Then we will kill those who follow them. We will keep killing until the enemy is exterminated or they get a frikin' clue.
It's a good point. But ya gotta do what you gotta do.
Maybe someone should sit down with the bamboo nibbler and show him some photos of the ROP in action.
Liberals are under every rock you turn over...
And a reincarnated OBL would eventually spring up again too, right DL? But if we allow him to just live out his life in peace then perhaps he'd see the error of his ways and work out his karma to the benefit of humankind. Kum-ba-freakin'-ya.
The Bolshecrats just can't get a break, this right after their sweeping defense manifesto put getting bin Laden at the top of their list.
I don't care what he has to say.
I believe in separation of church and state.
Who is this other guy prenteding to be me?
Lamas should not get into politics and international affairs.
I really wish the monkster would have expanded on that.
We could have essay contests, and the winners would get to administer their own favorite tortures.
The Dalai Lama is no more accountable than the spineless know it all libs who would have us submit to Islam in order to buy their idea of peace. Buddism is a philosophy with adherents. The body of christ is a real time event - not a vapid idea about the nature of reality.
Maybe the Dalai Llama has an inside deal for Osama to deliver new sherpas in the spring.
I want to read his exact words, all of them.
In previous interviews, somewhat cryptically, but clearly enough for those who pay attention he endorsed killing of the terrorists, something about killing a rabid dog is OK.
