Dalai Lama Says Non-Violence Does Not Work Against Jihadists.....

New Delhi: The Dalai Lama, a lifelong champion of non-violence candidly stated that terrorism cannot be tackled by applying the principle of ahimsa because the minds of terrorists are closed.

"It is difficult to deal with terrorism through non-violence," the Tibetan spiritual leader said delivering the Madhavrao Scindia Memorial Lecture here.

He termed terrorism as the worst kind of violence which is not carried by a few mad people but by those who are very brilliant and educated.

"They (terrorists) are very brilliant and educated...but a strong ill feeling is bred in them. Their minds are closed," the Dalai Lama said.

He said the only way to tackle terrorism is through prevention.

The head of the Tibetan government-in-exile left the audience stunned when he said "I love President George W Bush." He went on to add how he and the US President instantly struck a chord in their first meeting unlike politicians who take a while to develop close ties.

FREE TIBET! You can go outside anywhere in San Fran and East Manhattan and hear the cursing lefties peeling those bumper stickers off their rides.

Another, closer to home, physician / politician who risks his very soul by championing George Bush's accomplishments..Bill Frist.

A legacy of President George W. Bush will be that he saved 10 million lives around the world.

His critics ignore it, but name another president about whom one can say that with such certainty. It is what historians will say a decade from now looking back. Not bad for a president who leaves office with the lowest approval rating in recent memory.

Yes, today, on the eve of the Obamanation, I will say again, Thank You President George Walker Bush.

Now, Barack Hussein Obama, let's see what you can do. Your actions will be compared and contrasted with George Bush's, whether you like it or not. Are you man enough to lead this country?

Would you like a nice waffle before you answer that?
