If you dont remember, the USA sent aid and help to Communist China in its war against Japan. Much like the USA sent material to the USSR as well. Once the war was over our interests were not in China, but rebuilding Japan and western Europe while keeping an eye on the Red Army as their built the Berlin Wall. Yes, I can see China wanting Tibet back but once it was defeated it wasnt "only natural" to round up teachers, politicians, communtity leaders and make them disappear. They didnt have to slaughter citizens and beat people. That is when the USA gave it lip service in the UN and accepted the Dalai Lama. Other then that, the USA or its CIA has done nothing to help Tibet.

William, your knowledge of the situation in Tibet seems to be as poor (and as full of US/western propaganda) as your knowledge about history. There was no such thing as Communist China in the war against Japan, as the People's Republic has only been established on 1st of October 1949, long after the war ended and Japan was defeated. During II World War and the struggle with Japan, it was the Guomindang (also known in the west as the Nationalist) led by Chiang Kai-shek to official govern China (Republic of China, Nationalist China anyone?? Doesn't it ring any bell to you?). The communists at the time were only insurgents and controlled little part of the country, and many time Chiang Kai-shek, with the financial help of USA (he was the one receiving help from the US, not the communists), preferred to lose time fighting them instead of fighting the japanese, or to temporarily join forces with them to defeat the foreign enemy and save the country. So, please, make your homework before writing such historical nonsense. As for the "slaughter" of citizens in Tibet..you really need to study history and facts, and let alone fairy-tales...I really do not have time to give u some history's lessons, but ask urself one thing: why is that that the one who fled Tibet (9 years after the liberation, and at the exact moment when the chinese government was finally on the verge of abolishing serfdom in the region - which have been allowed to continue for those years out of RESPECT for the Dalai Lama and the "tradition" in Tibet - and freeing serfs, giving them their own land to cultivate and live on...instead of being exclusive property of the monasteries and the religious elite) were just the RELIGIOUS ELITE, the NOBLES and MASTERS of the old Tibet, who owned serfs, who used them as slaves and who regarded them as almost animals, not human beings, not exitating to pull out eyes, cut hands and so on to punish them and keep them under their heels? Ask yourself why
