Violence needed to fight terror: Buddha's man of peace: "The Dalai Lama, a Nobel peace prize winner and one of the world's most prominent advocates of non-violence, says it might be necessary to fight terrorists with violence. He also says it is too early to say whether the war in Iraq was a mistake. 'I feel only history will tell,' he said in an interview. 'Terrorism is the worst kind of violence, so we have to check it, we have to take countermeasures,' the Dalai Lama said."

How can he be so badly out of touch? Perhaps he has been misquoted.
