| Quote: | SAN FRANCISCO, United States (AFP) - Waging war for the cause of freedom can be justified but not in the case of Tibet's dream of autonomy from China, the Dalai Lama told an audience at Stanford University.
During the first of a two-day visit to the university in the state of California, Tibet's exiled spiritual leader Tenzin Gyatso touched on topics ranging from television viewing to abortion, cloning and the idea of just wars.
The allied victory in World War II "saved Western civilization," and conflicts fought in Korea and Vietnam were honorable from a moral standpoint, the 14th Dalai Lama said in answer to questions.
But he ruled out armed struggle for Tibet's grievances with the Chinese government.

Thank you, Dalai Lama.

Does anyone know whether Richard Gere is still alive? Someone should call his family and make sure hes ok.

The last we heard from Gere was a few months ago. He was looking for another pretty woman with inflated lips.
