Ultimately, if the backlash from Chinese authorities and citizens alike leads to oppression, then future "terrorism" in Tibet is guaranteed.
This is not unlike what happened to the urban poor of major cities of the world, including Tokyo. Though in Japan's case, the poor are not as oppressed by the State but are nevertheless under the thumb of powers beyond their control, like unemployed yakuza whose bosses are now serving time in jail.
The weapons cache found represents presence of either CIA aid or most likely PLA false incrimination. In any case, IMHO there may be direct or indirect mutual cooperation between CIA and PRC to demonize Free Tibet supporters and their agents in Tibet as "terrorists".
However, PRC is the root of that terrorism by their oppressive control of the autonomous region.
This is analogous to police controlling gang activity, both in America and elsewhere around the world. The more you criminalize drug abuse and prostitution (the side effects of oppression), the more you create criminals.
By oppressing the Tibetans, China is thus creating tomorrow's Tibetan "suicide bombers".
However, at the root of that oppression is the same root (of evil) that threatens the world: the lust for money and power.:tongue:
Sadly, no one knows what to do about China (http://www.rjgeib.com/thoughts/china/what-to-do-about-china.html) except to either praise it or condemn it. China should let Tibet follow its own path, as well as the Falun Gong and pro-democracy cliques.
