Why should we consider President Obama's meeting with the Dalai Lama to be any different than when American presidents have met with the Pope?

Any meeting between President Barack Obama and the Dalai Lama would harm bilateral relations, China warned Tuesday while repeating Beijing's refusal to discuss Tibet's status with the spiritual leader's envoys.

Kind of balzy on Obama's part since we're in debt up to our asses with China.

Me, I'm just happy we have a prez who can pronounce "Dalai Lama"...
