But don't give a damn about a Free Iraq?

Best Answer

It's the politics of fashion. It's fashionable to be in favor of a "Free Tibet", especially among people who never looked into the question of just how and when the Chinese went into Tibet in the first place.

And you know, of course, where they get their information on Iraq.

Oh, you didn't mention Darfur. We should go fight the mess in Darfur and get out of Iraq. That makes a lot of sense, doesn't it? About as much sense as "reducing your carbon footprint" by paying someone else to live a green lifestyle so you don't have to.
