Yes, mind your own business. Last I checked, even the Dalia Lama does not support Tibets separation from China. As "Kevin A" pointed out, its not possible for them to survive on their own as a country. Not to mention, they have no party in place to take over as the new governent. They have a religious leader, but without a government, they would go back to the fuedal system that was in place before 1950. Women would be property, monks would own all the land, and slavery would be common place again.
Besides, who says that the Tibetian people are rioting over separation? They just want greater autonomy, and more support from the government as more and more Han Chinese take up residence in their region. I'm not saying that China is not oppressing the Tibetian people, but they still have alot of freedom, and China has brought alot of properity and opportunity to the Tibetian people.
What would happen if a riot broke out in the USA. You would send in the national guard and riot police to stop it right? Peaceful demonstartions are one thing, but riots are dangerous, cause damage, and cost lives
I fully support greater autonomy for the Tibet region, but don't knock the Chinese government for keeping the peace. The Chinese government might have alot of short comings, but I would hate to see the American governemt look after a country of 1.3 Billion people. |

yes, because nothing good comes out of american influence... ever. vietnam... korean... iraq...
america can win european wars, but it's never won an asian war before (for good reasons, too).
american should really just mind its own business because its economy is going down the drain. |

Western powers have been responsible for wiping out much of the cultural and ethnic diversity on our planet. It is indeed very hypocritical to lecture China which, after all, is only pursuing its own path of economic growth and development.
The double standards over Tibet are breathtaking. Nancy Pelossi, a more hypocritical creature is difficult to imagine. American and Western politicians holding forth on human rights with blood all over their hands. This World has literally gone bonkers. If only there was one honest man amongst them. They continually play the blame game, diverting attention away from their own evil doings in order that they can have more room to operate. Iraq it seems is now forgotten, China bashing is much more productive.
We need to have a glimpse at South Asian history to understand Beijing's current role in Tibet. China's policies on this issue are deeply rooted in the events of the last two centuries. Many have forgotten that Britain during her imperialist adventures was using Tibet to undermine China when latter was a helpless sick giant. She was then at the mercy of the gunboat diplomats – the ancestors of today's `human rights' champions. Tibetans are the most widely distributed ethnic groups in the People's Republic. In addition to Tibet, they also inhabit Qinghai, Sichuan, Gansu and Yunnan provinces. The Tibetans are one of China's 56 'nationalities' as Beijing calls them. They are spread over one fourth of the country's land area.
But then many of you don't really care to know; you choose to remain ignorant which makes your criticisms/views obsolete. |

We should. We have enough problems as it is.
Plus, we recognize Tibet as part of China, if that is the case, then what reason do we have to interfere beside for human right reason? Even so, our government don't support Riots anyway, remember L.A. riots?
We should continue to support for cases on human rights. But it needs to be balanced approach. |

Why should we get involved? Look at the aftermath of Iraq, why did we do nothing with Mugabe in Africa?
All we do in this country is throw money into a bottomless pit where foreign matters are concerned. How much more can the British government absorb in foreign affairs? The taxpayer's money is already been squandered so I say no, mind our own business. |

Its not a matter of politics. Its not a matter of which country is better than others. Its a matter of HUMAN RIGHTS. If you feel that the Human Rights of Tibetans are not violated, then the answer is "YES", ignore the issues because there simply aren't any and "mind our own business". But if you feel the Human Rights of these Tibetans are violated, then the answer is "NO", and to make your voice known. |

A big YES on this one. Would you want the Chinese sticking their nose in if we had a problem with Mexico?
I do not agree with the take over of Tibet by China after WW2, but, at this point, I believe the problems there will be resolved quickly. China doesn't need this right now, with the Olympics coming up.
And, right on Erlish, good for you. Very good answer. |

Yes. Curently the west is always bothering China to hide their problems. I do think though that Tibetans who are buddhists should have some rights as to what religion they want to practise, but definetly not independence. Tibetans would starve if they were independent because of no arable land. Their land is practically useless and without resources it would just collapse. I don't even understand why Canada would recongnize Kosovo and why they would support Tibeten independece when at their doorstep are hundreds of thousands or Quebec seperatisits. If they said they were going to seperate, following their own view and comments they should just let Quebec go without any military action and think about it if a random group of people just decided to make their own country seperate from the US would the US agree? Obviously no, so China's desicion to control this is appropriate |

Most of you think this is a political question. I am sorry but I think this question is all about Human Rights. The government of America and the UK has nothing to do with it. If you feel its alright for the Chinese government to occupy Tibet, torture and murder the innocent Tibetans, then you should "mind your own business". But if you feel its a violation of Human Rights, then you ought to speak out! |

I suppose that depends on how you feel about people wanting their freedom. If you don't care how the rest of the world is treated by their power base people, then yes, we should mind our own business. If you feel that people who are trying to be heard, that are trying to win their freedom to choose a government and a way to live, then no, we should not, because breedom is everyone's business.

Depends should we mind our own business then a husband or boyfriend starts hitting there other half in public?
It maybe none of our business but its our civil duty to help others that seem to be in need of help. |
