I read this interesting and shocking story of the Tibitis in Iraq who are sleeping in the street in order to get the Chinese visa and to return what they believe is there home in L.A Times Mideast Blog.
The family” Tibiti” for sure refers to the Tibet in Arabic , it is an Adjective,it is Tibetan in Arabic.
It is common in the Arab world in the old day to call someone with his nationality or profession as his last name especially if his last was difficult or his known more with his profession or with his nationality as a stranger. There are too many examples.
Anyhow back to the “Tibitis” who are sleeping in the street currently, I do not know what to say except that I know that if Iraq were in better shape and those two millions Iraqis did not live their home 
Already I do not know if Allia Tibiti really understands the situation in Tibet, first of all their life won’t be better in China , because they will be treated more as strangers , they will be more strangers in China then in Iraq I am afraid !!
Allia I think does not know how the Tibet currently is suffering under the Chinese rule , it is just like combining both Saddam dictatorship with the American invasion in one place.
Allia can say that she and her family are Buddhists and that they are from Tibet for eternity and the Chinese government won’t grant them the Visa already her great grand father came to Iraq before the Chinese occupation and so the documents she owns may not be recognized by the Chinese government.
I know that life was not nice for them in Iraq especially when the regime treats them like a strangers despite I believe they are Iraqis by birth. May be if they left they were Iraqis ,they would not want to live Iraq
If you ask me she has two other options “ Either to accept Iraq as her home and live there or she go and search for asylum in some European country.
This is so sad , I wish that the Tibitsi wake up from their dreams.
