One of the best books on Tibet history is 'The Making of Modern Tibet', by A. Tom Grunfeld, professor of history at Empire State College of the State University of New York. [...] Grunfeld stated in the preface of his book: The Tibet movement is 'a campaign based on emotional moralism rather than on historical realities'.
Anytime we fabricate moralism at the expense of realities, we risk catastrophic failure. It is time America takes a better look at some realities of the Tibet situation, and realizes how our popular support for the Tibet movement can end up backfiring on us."
