Liberating Tibet... Any ideas????

As we see the Olympic torch making its way across the world, we are gradually hearing and seeing, increasing talk about freeing the people of Tibet. Why are these people protesting for the liberation of Tibet? And more importantly, what type of solution is proposed?

Here is a little back story on the liberation of Tibet

Now I am sure that this is probably a pretty biased site in concerning the liberation of Tibet. But again, what are some good solutions to fill the vacuum that would be created if China, hypothetically left Tibet, (knowing that this will probably never happen)?

One serious problem that I can see immediately with China leaving Tibet is that, the natural order of growth of the nation of is now irrevocably damaged, and who is going to step in and help a now damaged nation like Tibet, in a time when nation building vies a vie Iraq, Sudan, Rwanda, and the list goes on, is not “En Vogue” in today’s society? Will the United Nations step in and aid in building Tibet?

I know that the occupation of Tibet by China has been in play for the last 50 years, and the immediate withdrawal is not possibly a viable option, so if I can put my two cents in, I would ask these protestors of the Olympic Games, which is all about sportsmanship, cooperation and unity to come up with real solutions, and work to try and come up with some real solutions to aid the people of Tibet, instead of protesting for the sake of protesting.
