Free Tibet

I recently saw the above bumper sticker on a Volvo and it got me to thinking. This is such a lefty trendy cause, but one that I totally agree with. In fact the website freetibet.com states, "Free Tibet Campaign stands for the Tibetans' right to determine their own future. It campaigns for an end to the Chinese occupation of Tibet and for the Tibetans' fundamental human rights to be respected." Nothing to disagree with there. So why am I fussing about this? Because the same people who put Free Tibet bumber stickers on their cars for the ostensible reason that they believe in human rights and self-determiniation, don't believe it applies to other countries such as Iraq (under Hussein) Lebanon (invaded by Syria), Cuba, or North Korea. In the case of these countries, bumper sticker liberals are just fine with tyrranical dictators marching in, occupying the land, and killing off its inhabitants. There are no protest marches for these people's fundamental human rights. When was the last time ANSWER protested Castro or lil' Kim of North Korea?
