Dalai Lama Award

China'a anger at the U.S. bestowing the Congressional Medal of Honor on the Dalai Lama is unfair I believe. The Dalai Lama is a man that has advocated peace and his only true crime against the Chinese government was criticizing their treatment of the Tibet situation. China has the right to disagree with the Dalai Lama but to be angry at other countries for not sharing their feelings is disgraceful. If countries responded so angrily to every action that did not coincide with their own beliefs by other countries, there would never be a peaceful moment anywhere on this planet. Not everything can be or should be controlled by one country and I think that is what China is wanting in its dealings with the Dalai Lama. They must learn to accept that he is a respected man by people in other countries and he will be praised for his work regardless of what the Chinese government believes of him.
