Dalai Lama: in Palestine. That is what I needed. Dalai Lama taking time from his busy life of meeting with Hollywood celebrities in order to visit Israel. He even made some suggestions on how to best deal with Hamas. Dalai Lama: when did he ever take a courageous stance on anything, outside of hanging out with Richard Gere. Dalai Lama only proves what Robespierre had said about the clergy. And the Dalai Lama seems bothered by Palestinian actions, this from somebody who never uttered a word against Israeli occupation or killing of Palestinians. Dalai Lama: you remind me of Jimmy Carter. You are both boring and insignificant, and yet you both arrogantly think that you are doing something for the word. You are not. If anything, you have done only bad things to the word, your declarations to the contrary notwithstanding. Just go away, Dalai Lama. Go spend time with Jimmy Carter on his farm. Just go and hang out with celebrities and spare us you vapid pontification. (thanks Mouin)
