The Case for Tibet:
Re-evaluating America's position on the Tibet Question in the Post 9-11 Era

"The Roof of the World" stands, quite literally, on the very pinnacle of Asia. All of the major Asian rivers originate there, 12,000 feet above their eventual goal at sea level. To its north lies Russia, to its east, China, and directly south is India; the perennial powers of the continent. Geographically, Tibet is their hub, and for the better part of the recently expired millennium she served as their buffer as well. For a number of geographic reasons, some of which apply to a much lesser degree in the modern times, this large and sparsely populated region has given breathing room to fierce rivals and prevented direct confrontation.
