In an article today about the war in Darfur, The Belmont Club quotes Mark Steyn:

What's the quintessential leftist cause? It's the one you see on a gazillion bumper stickers: Free Tibet. Every college in the US has a Free Tibet society: There's the Indiana University Students for a Free Tibet, and the University of Wisconsin-Madison Students for a Free Tibet, and the Students for a Free Tibet University of Michigan Chapter. Everyone's for a free Tibet, but no one's for freeing Tibet.

The Belmont Club concludes the article by saying, “No one is willing to do what is necessary, not when they realize what it would take.”
