re: #359 Alouette

Who could have seen this coming?

Well, obviously a lot of people, since all I’ve seen over and over is folks waving the victory flags about all the “freedom” movements happening in the middle east. Freedom fine, “can’t we all just get along,” no… ideology is great during times of peace, worthless in times of conflict.

I want those people to have their freedoms too. But you don’t just hit the street, scare the shit out of some morally weak dictators (who are most concerned with their money, comforts and lives), and have no coalition or organized political base to fill the void… not when there are well organized vultures waiting in the wings.
