Hey Yorick...
Speaking of Tibet, in a similar vein, did you get the chance to see the footage of the Taliban militia in Afghanistan blowing gargantuan statues of Buddha off of the mountainsides? I thought I was going to pull my hair out! So much ignorance and intolerance in the world...
I mean, what the hell is the point of blowing up ancient artwork that doesn't hurt anybody. IIRC, Buddhists aren't a militant order...are they?
I just don't understand the Taliban way of thinking. It almost appears as though they are scared of people finding out that other religions exist. I guess any gov't. (if you can call them that) that would harbor one of the world's most vicious terrorists (Osama bin Ladin [sp.?]) must be a little on the unreasonable side.
