The obvious analogy is China. China's already had a damn good go at wiping out Taoism, possibly the most elegant and natural spiritual system in history. It wouldn't surprise me if Tibetan Buddhism was to follow. So you have people's dedicated to similar philosophies of non resistance, natural law, compassion, peace...who can be scrubbed out of existence by the stroke of a military planner's hand. This is the trouble I have with being too relaxed about all things, most things yes, but not all. On the one hand it's very seductive and peaceful to live in that philosophical space, I have a spiritual side that yearns for this, on the other hand it can be dangerous. Negative emotion is not always bad, usually but not always. It's there for a reason, it's supposed to be a catalyst for action. Trouble is we tend to get hooked into it, I'm with you in so far as it's something to be managed mindfully.
