A thought just occurred to me.
Sometime in September 2007, a lot of peaceful Buddhist monks were protesting the oppressive rule of the Burmese military junta. A lot of them got massacred. Some time later Hurricane Nargis laid waste to a large swathe of land and populace in Burma.
Coincidence?
Some time in March/April 2008, the Chinese detained and punished some Buddhist monks (from Tibet) and bad mouthed the most peaceful man of them all, the Dalai Lama, claiming that he was the primary reason for the unrest in Tibet. 3-4 days ago, a devastating earthquake has laid waste to a large swathe of land and populace in China.
Coincidence?
I think not.
I believe that if you oppress peace-loving people, then that will come back to haunt you. And if 'you' are a powerful nation, then it will haunt the whole 'you' (nation).
Think about it.
