Sweden (after the 30 year war)?  Lithuania? Denmark? Just saying. I wouldn't want to grade cultures by spiritual development, but, yes, what China is doing in Tibet is bad. Bad. It's even worse that no one in power in the west is really calling them to account on it. Every nation has blood on its hands Switzerland? Sweden (after the 30 year war)?  Lithuania? Denmark?
Just saying.

I wouldn’t want to grade cultures by spiritual development, but, yes, what China is doing in Tibet is bad. Bad.

It’s even worse that no one in power in the west is really calling them to account on it.
