Reminds me of Caddyshack

No offense to the Dalai Lama, but traveling to Israel to see if he can get an open dialog with Hamas and the Israeli leaders is a bit much (snappy analogy missing, sorry I'm tired). Oh the Hamas will more than likely have their picture taken with him, lots of warm fuzzy talk, then after he leaves, start in with the violence. He says: "The prophet Muhammad should not be blamed for the violence, said the Dalai Lama, adding that the problem is the lack of separation between politics and religion, a situation which creates violence because emotion is involved. " So even the Lama thinks separation of church and state is a good thing. I'd sure hate to let my beliefs influence how I act towards others. Just ask John Kerry where that got him (hint, he couldn't even carry the Catholic vote). So what should the Lama do? He should go back to Tibet and try and work on the problems they are facing, seeing how he is their leader.
