Free Tibet vs. Freeing Tibet
Alan Adamson quotes this brief section from Mark Steyn's controversial book, America Alone:
Everyone's for a free Tibet but nobody's for freeing Tibet.Steyn is a very amusing writer. And, like Alan, I thank the recent Osgoode Hall law students who did so much to popularize his book in Canada.
...
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'.'
