After my initial glipse of this conflict, and its consequences and the results, I have changed my viewpoint on the situation.
Ask yourself these questions, based on common sense and logic:
Who did most of the rioting and looting around Lhasa, who were its main participants and victims, and who started the riots? Who violated the peace and quiet, who attacked the mosques, the ethnic Chinese shops, other minorities?
Who had the most to gain and benefit from these riots and reprisals by Chinese, and what was the ultimate goal? Also, are these goals realistic at all? How realistic is it that China will be kind and generous enough to grant Tibet independence for monks' peace loving actions?
Also, what the hell do these riots have anything to do with Olympics in Beijing? Why the hell are Tibetan politics get crossed over with games? Isn't it a normal procedure to avoid making political statements and actions when carrying out such a massive sports event to promote unity and peace?
Also, in any other country, when hundreds of people start torching stores, looting, beating people up, causing unrest and using violence - would government and police just sit and do nothing?
I shall skip my answers to these and many other questions and I conclude that these Tibetan riots were part of a well planned and organized event to tarnish China, since the predictable Chinese response was expected (much worse that it did, actually), and its obvious that this would not make the Tibetan situation any better. Tibet is demanding too much - or pardon me, those on BEHALF of Tibet, those forces who infiltrated Tibetans and encouraged them to start riots - they are dumbasses for attempting to use violence to achieve something that even Hong Kong doesnt have. Tibet wasted a perfect opportunity to instead play a political game to wrestle some more autonomy for itself, and instead cashed in on the riots to set itself many steps back in progressing towards independence and greater autonomy. They could have played a political game and wrestled some freedoms in return for broad autonomy, because they had Chinese at their mercy for keeping the Games clean. Instead Tibet tried to stab a huge part of the pie and tried to leapfrog and missed, instead of trying to take it a step at a time.
Chinese response was at first surprisingly slow (perhaps to avoid large scale use of force and resulting bloodshed) and later quite brutal, resulting in numerous deaths of Tibetans, but the rioters are the ones who are to blame. They should've known well in advance what was coming, that ordinary Tibetans were going to die and suffer based on their idiocy and stupidity. They knew they couldn't beat Chinese troops and decided anyway to screw themselves more for a few hours of looting, smashing and beating. Party's over. Realistically even at the best shot Tibetans never had a chance of winning anything. But now they have even more animosity and anger from 1 billion Chinese.
Whats even worse is that Tibetan buddhists have damaged their own reputation by showing how truly peaceful and loving they are, by displaying strong animosity not only against ethnic Chinese, BUT AGAINST MUSLIM MINORITY. Thats right.
We all know how brutal Chinese government is, how evil their regime is. But others shouldn't fall down to their levels as well and let the bloodthirsty beast do what is expected in such a situation. Its just very stupid.
