Arab Spring:
Asking Mubarak to step down was seen by many as an error at the time alright.
But then, we stiffed the protesters in Iran and I’d suppose Syria where they shot protesters.
Those boats that capsized the other day were headed for Lampedusa, I myself didn't know where it was. Look how close it is to the Northern coast of Africa. Maybe they all head to the tiny island of Lampedusa. I know in some cases, the Italian coast guard has turned them back.
