The question answers itself. I wouldn't support outside influence as this would be contrary to the principle of self determination. I just don't accept that outside manipulation is the source of unrest in Tibet. Nice try.
The Dalai Lama himself admits to it but you deny it because it doesn't fit your cosy belief system. It is written up everywhere from Wikipedia to your mainstream press, but no, Hanyman doesn't "buy it." How pompous and elitist. You pick and choose truth to suit your own pre-determined biases, Hanyman. What you already believe to be "the truth." How convenient that must be for you.
From the New York Times link I posted above.
"The Dalai Lama's administration acknowledged today that it received $1.7 million a year in the 1960's from the Central Intelligence Agency... "
This is willful blindness and deliberate, conscious ignorance on your part, Hanyman. Can you honestly dig your head any deeper into the sand?
What do you honestly think the CIA does? Play Santa Claus to America's favourite charities? And then say, "Go ahead kiddies, spend it on anything you like!"?
