They take peaceful overtures as a sign of weakness and will literally cut your throat the sooner for it.
No...you can't make "peace" with such abject killers and tyrants. We learned that in World War II well enough, and how to abjectly defeat them so that it sticks...but are now forgetting it.
IT'S TIME FOR A RETURN TO THE OLD SCHOOL

i had a chance to meet the Dalai Lama once when he toured the US back in the late 80s. I was a young journalist then. I has struck by his serenity. I am glad to read this statement by the Dalai Lama. It only reinforces the obvious. There are times for non-violence and there are times for action. A grounding in the ways of peace of the soul and mind will tell one the difference.
I was also heartened to read that he was a fan of the President. How will the "talker-elect" come off amongst world leaders?

Historically, the Tibetans are not a pacific people, not so?

Usually, when your culture has a body of men devoted to peace, love, and meditation, there are also other organizations who specialize in something quite different.

The head of the Tibetan government-in-exile left the audience stunned when he said "I love President George W Bush." lol...I bet. It'll give them a good subject for their meditation practice.

We need to nuke Mecca and carpet bomb Medina and then create an international occupation force to take over Islamic lands and over several generations just wipe the cult off the face of the Earth.

He said that the only way to tackle terrorism is through prevention. The head of the Tibetan government-in-exile left the audience stunned when he said "I love President George W Bush." I loved this line. Journalists and leftists from around the world have failed their mission to convince everyone that George Bush is Satan incarnate.

First the miracle on the Hudson, and now the miracle of the Lama. Is it possible Barry will confess just before the inauguration?

“They (terrorists) are very brilliant and educated...but a strong ill feeling is bred in them. Their minds are closed,” the Dalai Lama said.

The Tibetans did have an army of sorts—rag-tag and antique weapons that stood no chance against the Chinese.

LOL!
The Dalai Lama makes liberal heads explode . . . .
But Gandhi agreed -- in order for nonviolence to work, you have to have civilized opponents. If they're barbarians, all bets are off.
Read Kipling's Kim for the Lama's account of a war between monasteries in his youth . . . .
