Excerpt from "The Last Stand"

I stood on the roof of the Potala Palace, the Dalai Lama's winter residence in Lhasa, Tibet. The sun was setting, and the sky was ablaze with color. The Potala, with its white walls and golden roofs, looked like a fairy tale castle. I could see for miles in every direction. The Tibetan Plateau stretched out before me, a vast and empty land. The only signs of human habitation were the occasional monastery or village.

I had come to Tibet to meet with the Dalai Lama. I was the highest-ranking U.S. official ever to visit Tibet. My visit was a знак of support for the Tibetan people and their struggle for self-determination.

The Dalai Lama is a spiritual leader and the head of the Tibetan government-in-exile. He is a charismatic and compassionate man. He has spent his life working for peace and nonviolence. He is a tireless advocate for the Tibetan people.

I met with the Dalai Lama for two hours. We talked about the history of Tibet, the current situation in Tibet, and the future of Tibet. The Dalai Lama was very clear about his goals. He wants Tibet to be a free and independent country. He wants the Tibetan people to be able to live in peace and dignity.

The Dalai Lama is a realist. He knows that Tibet will not be free tomorrow. But he is also an optimist. He believes that one day Tibet will be free. He believes that the Tibetan people will never give up their struggle for self-determination.

I left Tibet with a heavy heart. I had seen firsthand the suffering of the Tibetan people. I had also seen their strength and their determination. I believe that the Tibetan people will one day achieve their dream of freedom.
