(I found the recent news on Tibet conflict disturbing. There are some different views. Here is only an incomplete list of various perceptions. I wonder why there isn't much mentioning on how exactly it started: from thousand years ago or 50 years ago or some preemptive action during the "peaceful" demonstration by whoever... It's so sad to see the innocent life lost--many of them. I believe no one has the right to take away other people's life.)
