The Dalai Lama fears there will be a “lot of casualties” in Tibet. He’s still willing to meet with the Chinese, who still accuse him of plotting the whole thing.

The Olympic Games do not take place in Lhasa — the Olympic Games take place in Beijing. It is illogical to blame millions of Chinese,” he told reporters in Dharamshala, northern India, where he lives in exile.

And China’s Olympic Delusion, which, despite the DL’s charitable attitude, questions the wisdom of China’s hosting the event this year. This piece from the Nation was found by Danny Fisher (who also has a great post on the five years of the Iraq war.)
