rawstory.com — President George W Bush will meet the Dalai Lama at the White House next week just before lawmakers award the exiled Tibetan spiritual leader a high-profile medal, the White House said Thursday. China has condemned Washington's planned red-carpet treatment for the 72-year-old Buddhist leader, whom China accuses of fomenting independence for Tibet.

Well if we can't pat Bush on the head when he makes a rare good move like this, why would he bother in his remaining 15 months at the helm? That's still a lot of time that he could otherwise use to screw our futures up. It's hard to get my fingers to type this, but here goes. WELL DONE GEORGE.

Where does all this love for the Dali Lama and Tibet come from? You do realize that first Dali Lama seized all of the monasteries in Tibet by force and destroyed all of the Buddhist documents that challenged his claim of divinity. The history of Dali Lama's are full of corruption and violence. They slaughtered entire villages to destroy blood lines. They enslaved the peasants of Tibet. Even in the early 1900's there are accounts of the monks taking young boys from peasant families by force to be trained. There are first hand accounts of the molestation of these children at the hands of the monks.I could care less, but this fascination with the Dali Lama really cracks me up. Its like we in the West have just adopted this cause and created our own history for them, free from the truth that might ruin our poster child for peace and tranquility.

Yep, all true. But he has a great PR team so none of it really matters to most people.
