We all know Tibetans are not Chinese. They have their own written script, language and culture. What we all have to ask ourselves is: Does China's want for land and resources warrant its land grab of Tibet enough to destroy a people and their language?

Perhaps the problem is that Tibetans believe in peace and nonviolence and the Chinese do not.
