Well, Mr. You, don't forget that Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania were in the USSR  
map for quite a long time. Does it really mean anything?! If you had asked the  
USSR leaders then about these three countries, they would have certainly said:    
"There is no question as USSR's sovereignty over these three countries. Any  
discussion about minority rights shall be conducted in that framework!" Of  
course they might even say: "Look, open your eyes big! If you dare to split our  
socialist motherland, KGB will be waiting for you."

Again let me point out that I am not sure whether Tibet is a province of China.
Let me tell you, even when I was in China years ago, I also doubted whether  
Tibet is actually a province (or you might want to call it "autonomous region")  
of China. I had to admit that I did not have the courage to speakout because of  
the reasons you all know. I am really sorry to have found that there are very  
few poeple would think of this issure objectively.

Your last paragraph really spoke out what you really think of this issue. Yes  
you will never give up your land even if this piece of land is obtained by  
force. You will never care about other people's tear, other people's blood and  
other people's lives because they are weaker. In the meantime, since you are  
still pretty weak, you cry for help, cry for protection, cry for justice and  
cry for apology from those stronger people who once oppressed you. Ask youself,  
is it fair?!!

It's up to you. You can call me coward if it really make you feel better  
because you have acted cowardly in front of some stronger people. But one  
thing,  do you, or will you ever have the courage to admit something is wrong  
on your attitude?

By the way, I don't feel like to use my real name. This is because I don't want  
my mail be flooded. I know some guy will lose their temper very easily.  
Flooding my mail is just one minor thing. They really have the courage and  
ability to do something extraordinary. So sorry, Mr. You.

Carl
