Dear Mrs. Hillary Rodham Clinton,

Suicide violates the Buddhist belief in non-violence, but over the decades, other Tibetan protests have failed to shake China into significantly loosening its hold on the "Himalayan country" it first invaded in 1950.

Six determined Tibetans are starving themselves to dramatize the cause of freedom for their homeland. The hunger strike timed to coincide with a U.N. session on human rights.

Gyalpo, one of starving Tibetan has lost 10kg at that time, he said "the United Nations solved problems in every country where there has been fighting and killing, but why not Tibet? Because we don't harm anything, now everything is finished in Tibet."

Peaceful talking with Beijing, is very difficult for Tibet; the one reason is "Tibet have no powerful reason to deal with communist China".

What's meaning "powerful reason"? The answer is

A. Enough military weapon.

B. A strongest country intervene in both side.

The protesters, however, may find the U.N. bureaucracy unyielding the organization has not yet responded their pleas, though one official privately said the Tibetans don't understand how the U.N. operates, "The U.N. secretariat can't do anything on its own".

The official explains, noting that the Tibetans need at least one country to raise the issue in the General Assembly. Although some international group have written letters of support to Tibetans, so far, no nation has dare risk China's wrath by starting up a diplomatic debate.

Watching the hunger strikers the Dalai Lama later said, was like seeing "Tibet itself dying in front of the so-called civilized world. This is very sad." One of the strikers

says "we have to do something now, whether it work or not, we do it".

Clearly to see that; "no weapon no talk", strong weapons concreted hard background. This is the best reason for Taiwan to maintain military system'

We need your help.

 

Sincerely Yours,
Yang Hsu-Tung.
