Freedom in Tibet

My friend Tom just made a nice Free Tibet music video based on his filming during the Tibetan Olympic protests. Check it out.

Here are some of my thoughts on a free Tibet:

It's sad how quickly worldwide attention has fallen away from the Tibetan cause after the Olympics.

After having lived in China for a year, I personally think the only way to actually achieve anything is to aim for cultural and religious autonomy as a special cultural zone still within the chinese borders. It's not what everyone wants, but I don't think a free tibet is possible within the next 50-100 years, whereas a special cultural zone (similar to the special economic zones already in place in China) is actually feasible.
