Who is advoating for war with China?

Bring democracy to China, we’ll make everybody free.

Where and who are “all these people” calling for a free Tibet that was enslaved by Communist China in the 1950’s?  China may fall like USSR did in the 1990s, as may Iran, but that would be up to them.  Has China invaded another country besides Tibet?  I don’t know.  Iraq invaded three countries.  Iraq was censured by the UN (whatever that is) 17 times.

Communism is evil

Damn! Several of us on Saturday were having this exact conversation. Why are leftards all incensed over Tibet, and yet don’t care in the least how many children and women die at the hands of Islamic terrorists? Exactly what is so important about Tibet? Throughout the Soviet occupation of Afghanistan the left did not give a shit how many people were starved and murdered by their communist heroes. Now they are all upset about Tibet. Duplicitous and self-serving hypocrites.

Who is advoating for war with China?

You think concerts and picket lines would change anything?

The war against illegal plunder has been fought since the beginning of the world. But how is… legal plunder to be identified? Quite simply. See if the law takes from some persons what belongs to them, and gives it to other persons to whom it does not belong. See if the law benefits one citizen at the expense of another by doing what the citizen himself cannot do without committing a crime. Then abolish this law without delay … If such a law is not abolished immediately it will spread, multiply and develop into a system.

Rob’s recently listened-to songs:

Are these some of the same folks who wanted the US to send troops to Liberia… and Darfur?  How can people who are this irrational and inconsistent in their world view and in their application of US power expect to be taken seriously?

Damn, Bat One beat me to it. :(

Exactly what is so important about Tibet?

Free Tibet is a cause that leftist tout because they know that nothing can actually be done about it. Thus they are free to indulge their self-righteousness without having to worry that, you know, war might actually break out over it.
