There are some very serious problems and thus far, not one of you new posters have addressed any of those issues. Why did the Tibetans rioted? It's very easy to blame the Dali Lama but why would they support the DL?

Wasn't it started because some monks were beat up while they were protesting inside their temples? Although, I have to say that without interviews with the arrested rioters you really can't get a good idea of their reasons. The original protesters may be mainly comprised of deeply devout Tibetans, but later, it could have been people who just saw an opportunity to burn and loot. It's hard to tell without further evidence.
As for supporting DL, if a Tibetan isn't happy with the current gov't, then he doesn't have a lot of choices. I personally find the DL fairly ineffective, he's spent half a century campaigning for Tibetan Independence, then autonomy, and I seriously don't see any significant progress that can be attributed to his actions.
