Wht do you think US will support Tibet's cause. Chinese has financed American debt's over the years and low cost chinese goods are critical to keep infaltion down in US. US needs China as much as China needs US. And anyway, US has proved over time that they are in the game only for themselves and will go to any extent to secure their interests. The bloody murders of hundred thousands during Nixon/Kissinger era and its equivalent in the Bush era in Iraq are examples. They will support terrorist and leftist governments when it suits them and oppose when it suits them. Relying on US for anything is naive. Tibetans are our own brothers and we owe it to them to support them in their cause. If not we should be ready to part with UP and eastern states in times to come.
