Imagine a Free Tibet!
americanthinker.com — I don't know what the "Free Tibet" bumper sticker crowd must be thinking these days, but I can assure you it most certainly doesn't involve the 101st Airborne, tanks, guns, or any of that other "culture of violence" stuff.......>>

Had to bookmark that one . . . I've only done that a few times with blog commentaries. So much of it is pertinent to the other challenges faced by free people in this world, and so much of the credulous leftist responses, as well . . . their credulity seemingly bounded only by their investments in herbs and chemicals for personal use. - hillpehle, on 04/20/2008, -0/+13Great article! I am glad this was forwarded to me. Your grasp of reality is a refreshing change from the normal garbage coming from the Code Pinko's and other "Peace through submission" organizations.
Keep up the good work!
David at Make-A-Statement.org - inboxnews, on 04/20/2008, -2/+13Worthy of repeating (fta):
To all those out there with the "Free Tibet!" stickers, here are a few facts that will help the world make sense:
1. There will always be bad people.
2. Bad people don't care about hurting good people. Appeals to shame, empathy and guilt don't work on them. That's why they're bad people.
3. Bad people respond to force. They don't like it and will change their behavior to avoid it.
4. Good people need to use force to stop the bad people from hurting other good people.
5. It's not the same when a good person uses force to stop a bad person as when the bad person uses it to harm a good person.
6. Not letting good people use force against bad people encourages more bad behavior.
7. Good people using force against bad people should be encouraged. This will make the world a better place.
To all the pacifists out there who think guns are the problem, all the moral lightweights harping about the "cycle of violence", please remember:
Guns liberated Auschwitz and violence ended slavery. The world you "imagine" is not here on Earth but in the next life, and you're really gumming things up for the rest of us by confusing the two.
Free Tibet - Hell yes! But to whom do we send the weapons? - these3remain, on 04/20/2008, -0/+9Excellent, excellent, excellent! It provides an eloquent explanation of what a "just war" is and why from time to time, they must be undertaken rather than averted at all cost. The cost is often much too high when "peace at any price" is the mentality.

- InRussetShadows, on 04/20/2008, -0/+7I am surprised, but in a pleasant way. This article fires on all cylinders. Let's all favorite it.
- kemojr, on 04/21/2008, -0/+5One thing that the liberals will never understand is that the price of freedom is blood. It is not smooth talk, wishing for the best, kissing the behind of tyrants, or making nice with people that want to take away your freedom. Peace should always be given the first chance, the second chance and the third chance but once it is clearly determined that someone is out to destroy you, you must destroy them first. You can't be like the guy who puts off dealing with the tiger, hoping he will be eaten last. That's the way some of our allies are treating the Radical Islamic movement.
