Nov. 11 (TibetReport Blog/by Bhuchung K. Tsering): In his memoir, Decision Points, released on Nov. 9, former US president George W. Bush Bush says he met His Holiness the Dalai Lama five times during his presidency and “found him to be a charming, peaceful man.” He added, “I told China’s leaders they should not fear him.”

Bush also talks about his conversation with President Hu in Sydney  in 2007 during which he told the Chinese leader about his decision to attend the ceremony to bestow the Congressional Gold Medal to the Dalai Lama. President Bush said he told President Hu that he would attend the ceremony (that took place subsequently on October 17, 2007 in Washington, D.C.) “as a measure of my respect for the Dalai Lama.”
