			<title>Behind the Saffron Robes, A Savvy Politician</title>
			<link>http://dalailama.com/news.256.htm</link>
			<guid>http://dalailama.com/news.256.htm</guid>
			<description><![CDATA[25 May 2008 (By Pico Iyer, The Washington Post) - When most people think of the Dalai Lama, they think of his saffron and maroon robes, his shiny shaven head, the mala beads around his wrist, his puckish smile and cosmic insight. He is, after all, the incarnation of the god of compassion. Yet part of the drama and power of his life is that while his head may be in the clouds, for more than half a century his feet have been firmly planted in the unforgiving realm of realpolitik. Over the years, as I've reported from El Salvador to Lebanon, from Ethiopia to Sri Lanka, I've come to see the Dalai Lama as one of the most realistic, far-sighted politicians in the world.
