Dalai Lama joins green ink brigade

Has the Dalai Lama lost it? Never the most logical thinker or speaker, the gaffe-prone Tibetan leader, faced with bad publicity re:Tibetan rioters attacking Han and Muslim civilians, is now suggesting that China staged the uprising in Tibet. "Tibetans are non-violent people. We have heard about a few hundred Chinese soldiers received monks’ dress." Dalai Lama suggests China could be behind Tibet unrest , Press Trust of India March 28.

Let’s see if we have this straight. China, anxious to show a human face to the world in Olympic year stirs up trouble in Tibet in order to…well do what exactly?

So the Dalai Lama has joined the nightmare, back-to-front, green ink, conspiracy world of the crackpot ‘blogosphere’ and in particular its elite American division, the lunosphere.

One crazed scribbler has Hu Jintao/Dr Evil/Fu Manchu deliberately provoking riots in March to justify an early lock-down of Tibet so that the Olympic Torch makes it safely to the top of Mount Everest in May. Er, yes..that makes a lot of sense.
