...Ma said Thursday he was approving the Dalai Lama's visit
because it could help ease the island's pain after the
devastation of Typhoon Morakot, the storm that struck Taiwan
earlier this month at the cost of an estimated 670 lives. 

"The Dalai Lama could come to Taiwan to help rest the souls of
the dead and also pray for the well-being of the survivors," he
said. .............

Amazing.......a while back he decided not to allow HHDL to visit
because of you know who's objections.
