My opinion: I think the initial peaceful demonstration got out of hand by younger Tibetans who were frustrated ....but I would even conjecture that Han Chinese undercover agents were also involved in inciting the violence. Dressed as a monk or a Tibetan, they fueled the violence. This allows the Chinese government to say "see how the Dalai Lama is trying to use violence to separate the peaceful and harmonious Tibetans from China?"
If anything, the most important thing I'd like to say is that ...be wary of the crap the Chinese Government is saying. They kicked out 12 Hong Kong journalist on the day the riot broke out. No other journalism goes on here except the CCTV9 government run news. It pisses me off that there's no third party involved in making a better assessment. Again, I keep thinking that the Chinese government was involved in this.

Everything is "harmonious" in China.
