Tibetans’ failed attempts to start a revolution
Anchor Lisa Mullins asks author Tim Johnson, "Why the Dalai Lama hasn't been able to accomplish for Tibetans what protestors in Egypt and Tunisia have accomplished for themselves." Johnson has traveled with the Dalai Lama and wrote a book called "Tragedy in Crimson: How the Dalai Lama Conquered the World but Lost the Battle with China."
