Tibet

I recently watched a documentary about Tibet - it left me very sad...

...this wasn't the documentary but it has much of the same information:



...injustice, oppression, pain - no translation needed:


http://www.savetibet.org/

For more than 50 years the Tibetans have suffered at the hands of the Chinese government. In the last several weeks as Tibetans have stood up to their rights, thousands of Tibetans, including Buddhist monks and nuns, have been detained, arrested, interrogated or tortured and more than a hundred are reported to have been killed.

Join me and ask President Bush to stand up for the people of Tibet. The Dalai Lama and the people of Tibet need your help!

Take Action!

Thanks for sharing this, JS. I wasn't as up on Tibet's situation as I should have been. It made me sad too.

How did wife's trip go?

Hope!

I agree, JS. The Tibet situation is depressing. My eyes were opened to it a few years ago by a film whose name I simply cannot recall. If/when I do, I'll return and provide the name, in the event you and your wife would like to rent it.

lee: the wife's trip went ok; we're waiting to see...so her job adventure still continues.

san: I'd be interested in watching the movie.
