The Olympic flame is again making its traditional voyage around the world. This time, however, it is followed by demonstrations opposing China’s domination of Tibet. The European Union leaders and the U.S. House of representatives both want China to begin negotiations with the Dalai Lama, the spiritual leader of Tibet, in order to end Tibetan repression. Although some world leaders are considering boycotting the opening ceremonies in protest of the repression, the Dalai Lama does not agree. He wants China to know, “We are not against you. And I’m not seeking separation.”
