If he's so important to you, why didn't you guys invite him over then?
Oh, I forgot. Chretien and martin both have large business dealings with the Chinese overlords.
First you are off topic as usual. second you insist on making every thread you go on a political battle....again as usual.
Against my better judgment I will answer you. This circus and all of its photo Opps have been orchestrated by the PMO of the Con Party of Canada (the government currently, and lets hope not for too long, in power) It is Harpers party and his time to shine in the light of the Lama and the world stage. As the controlling maniac he is, I am sure he has made it clear that no other leader gets a photo Opp that will out shine his time in the media spot light.
Now to address your tasteless comment. The Dalai Lama is a man of great peace and honor and deserves respect. He is beyond politics. Yes even when he and his people are oppressed by the Chinese government.
