dear friends, about Tibet and China

hey my friends on photoblog
i ve been considering this place as place to share photos and meet photographers all of the world and never thought one day this gonna to be associated with politics or whatever
but what happened recently in my country and part of the responses to my last post make me want to know something, know about your opinions actually
I ve just wrote something to a photoblog friend so to save time let me just quote it firstly, it represents my opinion
"hey dear tim, thanks for the comment.
Me too! I love both China and Tibet but that is never exclusive, cause Tibet itself has been a part of China. Since childhood i and all friends around me have seen it as a province, like all other provinces of china. We sometimes heard ppl going there to travel and we heard local people there are kind and warmhearted to travellers, actually very very few has been heard about any unpleasant thing between people from Tibet and from other parts of china.
As for the free Tibet movements, i see it as the desire of a few people with political purposes rather than the Tibet residences. cause what i knew and saw is a few people were organized or employed to fight plain people on the road, destroy city constructions, they even set fire to a primary school during school hours when all the kids were sitting in it having classes.
of course I m not in Tibet and this is what I heard and saw. But from all information and recourses as well as from my friend who is now working in Tibet, what I heard is very close to the truth. May i just wonder why you think Tibet should be freed and what you know about the current situations there and most importantly thing, how you knew about this?
im looking forward to hearing your opinion."
i think that is about it.
I m sure all of you are reasonable people. Politicians have their own desires and purposes so they tell lies. But I believe you do not. Our judges, yours and mine, are based on what we heard and saw. What I heard and saw is just given and I also wanna know about yours.
Before you show support for Free Tibet movements, did you really care about the case and read about it on newspapers and internets or you just think all kind of "Free XXX" movements sound innocent and stand for peace? If the former, may I know what you heard about Tibet and China?
thanks very much.
