Reader comment on:
Council Member Wants U.S. To Pressure China on Tibet
in response to reader comment: Hail to Power of Dead People Talking

Thank you, Tenzin Dorjee-la for your kind comments. The Roman Empire, the Greek Empire Under Alexander, The Mongolian Empire, The Spanish Empire, The British Empire, The Nazi Rule, The Soviet Republic all eventually fell. Countries such as India, the Philippine and many African nations that lived under colonial rule for centuries never asked for autonomy or gave up and eventually gained their independence because of their persistence. I firmly believe that if Tibetans too do not settle for autonomy but instead continue whole-heartedly to struggle for independence, we too will regain our complete independence and freedom one day. I wish to take this opportunity to thank all supporters of a free Tibet.
