Mark Steyn Quote

Everyone's for a free Tibet, but no one's for freeing Tibet. So Tibet will stay unfree - as unfree now as it was when the first Free Tibet campaigner slapped the very first FREE TIBET sticker on the back of his Edsel. Idealism as inertia is the hallmark of the movement...He's [the guy with the bumper sticket] advertising his moral superiority, not calling for action. If Rumsfeld were to say, Free Tibet? Jiminy, what a swell idea! The Third Infantry Division goes in on Thursday, the bumper-sticker crowd would be aghast. They'd have to bend down and peel off the FREE TIBET stickers and replace them with WAR IS NOT THE ANSWER.
