The problem is how much control Dalai Lama has over his followers. If he was against violence, how on earth did this kind of horrible violent riot started? If there are still large number of Tibetan exiles prefer violence over dialogue, the negotiation between Chinese government and Dalai Lama makes so sense at all.
As a matter of fact, Dalai Lama has sent his brother to China and Chinese government has welcomed him. However, no agreement was made. There are two reasons:
1. Dalai Lama was asking for much more than what Chinese can give me. He wants autonomy not only in Tibet, but any place where there are Tibetans. This will includes so many provinces where Han Chinese and Tibetans coexist...

1. Dalai Lama was asking for much more than what Chinese can give me. He wants autonomy not only in Tibet, but any place where there are Tibetans. This will includes so many provinces where Han Chinese and Tibetans coexist for centuries;
2. Dalai Lama was asking for absolute religious status. However, he is only one of the respected religious figure (with the highest status) among Tibetan Buddhists. So, there was great opposition from Tibetan Buddhists community. There are so many XXX Lamas and they are all regarded sort of semi-god. They will enjoy so many privileges until Dalai Lama claims his status. Losing powers always make people feel miserable.
That's why no deal was ever made.
If we compare how Chinese treated minorities and how Whites treated natives. You will find that how "nice" Chinese are. There were so many occasions in the histories that Chinese were able to wipe out the entire Tibetan population just like how European settlers removed Indians. However, Chinese never did that! If that kind of massacre already happened, we won't be dealing with a Tibet/China issue right now. Chinese always trying to merge with the minorities.
So, the bottom line for Chinese is that any Tibetan has to accept the Chinese authority over Tibetan territory and Chinese will fight for this. This is just the reality.

Ironic how Democrats and Republicans alike fully support what China considers "insurrection", and secession from a totalitarian "central government". by praising Dali Llama's dissent.

While there are differences in degree, in principle this is hypocritical, given than the U.S. central Federal government made war against the southern states for wanting to secede and a Union was forced at gunpoint. How was that different than what China wants, or how was the principled dissent of Robert E Lee or the South's elected President Jefferson Davis different from that of Dahli Llama and Tibet?

Today the states are resisting REAL ID, federal PATRIOT ACT powers, and the citizens an increasingly fas...

Today the states are resisting REAL ID, federal PATRIOT ACT powers, and the citizens an increasingly fascist federal government that seeks to control our every day lives under either a Nanny State (dems) or Security State (repubs), that can only be regarded as totalitarian, to which all must submit in order to be "free"!

While the feds help the Dali Llama and Tibet, they have never sought to help the states either secede or reclaim their full sovereignty from the federal government that now controls them. (They have elections in China too, which hardly makes a difference there either).
