A perspective from journalist Nicholas Kristof on the freedom of Tibet and how the Dalai Lama will bring about that change if at all. Tibet was invaded by China in 1949-1950 and since then more than a million of Tibetans have been killed or sent to prison because of their political or religious beliefs. The Dalai Lama appears to be negotiating with the Chinese Government concerning Tibet's sovereignty. Politics is not important to him but preserving the Tibetan culture. However, if they give their political power (the little that they have left) to the Chinese government won't that ultimately be the demise of Tibet and all it has to give?
