<I appreciate your rejection of pacifism both in general and in this case.
well not as much in general, just only in the context of trying to protect those dependent on you with it.
But like it or not, the Lama is a world leader. He has a right and perhaps a duty to express his opinion.
(rolls eyes) yes yes I know, theres no way I would ever want to prevent him form expressing his opinion. though, just hte same I like to express mine about how crappy his opinion is (IMO of course). . .
The lama's opinion has a lot to do with his religion. It is customary to respect other's religious beliefs.
Jeez! We don't need th Buddhists pissed at us too! (I guess Buddhist terrorists just burn themselves)

He is a Buddhist. He is going to sound like a Buddhist when he speaks.
point taken, how 'bout I let him speak like a buddhist and I'll respond like an American? ;-)
