On March 10th hundreds of people marched the streets of New York in solidarity with Tibet. Some issues they marched for include mass genocide, human Rights, lack of religious freedom, Chinese migration and more. The march lasted all day going throughout manhattan until it dwindled down late night in Union Square Park. The protest in New York City was in conjunction with the London march also for the free Tibet campaign.

Have you ever wondered why China occupied Tibet in the first place? Well, maybe the answer is this one

"The
vast land is also the cradle of several great rivers such as the Yangtze River, the Yellow River (...)"

With the US tinkering around militarily for oil not too far away, probably the chances for a Tibet without China are now slimmer than ever. It seems a typical question of avoiding the struggle for water. I am pretty convinced, the U.S. would do the same, were it in China's position. They are doing it for the oil as we speak.
