Lama Drama









Reiterating a statement that he originally made more than fifteen years ago, yesterday His Holiness the 14th Dalai Lama proclaimed that he would have no choice but to resign as spokesman for the people of Tibet if the majority of Tibetans resorted to violence in their struggle with the Chinese.

To be clear, however, he cannot resign as Dalai Lama, spiritual leader of the Tibetan people, only as head of the government in exile.
