Penn & Teller: Bullshit!, Season 3
[Penn compares Tibet under Chinese rule vs. the Tenzin Gyatso, 14th Dalai Lama's rule.]
Penn:
"Since Mr. Lama has been run out of Tibet, the Chinese have introduced secular education, running water and electricity so maybe life is a bit better on the ground there. Of course the Chinese have also thrown thousands in labor camps and prisons, stomped out as much free speech as possible, and there's that whole f***ed up Communism thing. But if you ask Tenzin Gyatso, dba Lama-- what is it with these holy people and their aliases? His Holiness will tell you that he must return to power for the good of his people. In this case, "good" may translate into his people living in squalor and his government condoning slavery. Remember, the lesser of two evils… is still evil. And the enemy of my enemy... is not my friend."
