Good.  Now that you have admitted explicitly that the *realpolitik*
justification for Chinese rule over Tibet is an entirely colonialist one,
and, implicity, that the jurisprudential justification for Chinese
colonial rule over Tibet has exactly the same validity as the Zionist
justification for Israeli colonial rule over Palestine, only one tiny
question remains:

Under your own definition of the word, which deserves more to be
called "imperialist"
--the Tibetan peasant who hides a picture of her national and
     spiritual leader in her bedroom closet
			or
--the Chinese soldier or policeman who searches her house, finds the
     picture, beats and imprisons her?
