You can never look back

I spotted this bumper sticker yesterday on the back of a sport utility vehicle: "FREE TIBET."

I started to think about the colonial narratives sparring in that dense image, and I got a little dizzy. Remind me again why we're in Iraq? I also thought of that great line in the Don Henley song "The Boys of Summer:": "Saw a Deadhead sticker on a Cadillac."
