    Yes, China has been frustrated with the situation in Tibet for a long time. At self-immolation? Maybe. But more accurately, China is tired of people sticking their noses into its business.”

    I guess I should go on to the meaning of “freedom” to these people in Tibet and what foreign countries think is good for Tibet may not necessary be good for the people over there.

    Ugh, I am hungry, Ivana, where are you?
