Today is the first time a sitting President will be with the Dalai Lama
in a public event. President Bush plans to speak on the wisdom and
goodness the Dalai Lama has brought. Chinese Government has lashed out
against the U.S. since they became aware of the award, and have become
even angrier when they discovered that President Bush is planning to
attend and speak on support of the Dalai Lama.
The medal has also been given to such diverse individuals as Sir Winston Churchill, Pope John Paul II, Mother Teresa and former South African president Nelson Mandela.
