Well, you can thank your leftist icon, John F. Kennedy for his role in the loss of Tibet. He betrayed the Tibetans to the communists as he did the Cubans at the Bay of Pigs.
Here's part of the story.

Excerpt:
But don't expect the Clinton administration to declassify the Tibetan
operation files anytime soon. The secret archives include a shameful episode
involving Clinton's favorite presidency, the Kennedy administration, and
Democratic icon John Kenneth Galbraith. One of the best-kept secrets of the
Tibetan War is Ambassador Galbraith's role in the abandonment of an army of
Tibetan guerrillas caught in a pitched battle. While special operations Air
Force planes stood by to parachute ammunition and supplies to the Tibetan
freedom fighters, Galbraith refused to give permission for the CIA to
resupply its covert Tibetan army. Cut off and surrounded, between six and
eight thousand Tibetans were annihilated by the Chinese in a massacre that
has been shrouded in secrecy for more than thirty years.
The parallels to the Cuban Bay of Pigs fiasco are eerie. In both cases the
Eisenhower administration originally launched the covert programs to train
freedom fighters to resist Communist domination. In both the guerrillas
depended on U.S. support for arms and ammunition. In Tibet, as in Cuba, only
air support and airdrops of supplies could help trapped men fight their way
out of desperate situations. In both cases, when the freedom fighters were at
their moment of greatest peril, the Kennedy administration chose to abandon
them. This is the true story of how the Tibetan operation began in glory, and
ended in shame.

The degenerate left abadoned the struggle when there was an opportunity to prevail. But that's the cut and run mentality of the left.
If we do pull out of Iraq, and abandon our enterprise, 40 years from now, the left will be bemoaning such action.
Parenthetically, candidate Obama, was quoted in the Boston Globe, the day after his speech at the 2004 Democrat Convention as stating something to the effect that we should not remove our troops from Iraq until we had accomplished our objectives. He has a short memory, when he says that he never supportedd the war. But then, he is oblivious to much occurring around him, and has a very poor memory for the racist rants of his mentor. Rev. Wright. And those are more recent, contemporary in fact.
