Spot on. Too many amoral realists on Free Republic. The Egyptian people have shown their bravery. When are Americans going to be as brave and trust their basic principles. You cannot support liberty at home unless you also support it abroad. This has a totally different feel from Iran 1979. This is a victory over fear. Who out of the GOP really supported this?
“If there is any period one would desire to be born in, — is it not the age of Revolution; when the old and the new stand side by side, and admit of being compared; when the energies of all men are searched by fear and by hope; when the historic glories of the old, can be compensated by the rich possibilities of the new era? This time, like all times, is a very good one, if we but know what to do with it.” R.W. Emerson
Is this a joke? Cos you’ll have to do better. What’s with the Muslim takeover bit? US and coalition troops are dying to help democratic muslim governments defend themselves, and you post stuff like this? In 2000 Tony Blair sent British troops into Sierra Leone to stop the brutal takeover of the nation by gangs, and to reestablish a democratic, elected government led by a muslim President called Ahmad Tejan Kabbah! Was Blair supporting jihadism? That deployment of troops helped lead to the end of of wars in west Africa, the end of Charles Taylor’s rule in Liberia and his extradition to The Hague, the end of Al Qaeda’s contacts in west Africa (ties of former Liberian president Charles Taylor to al Qaeda have been corroborated by the FBI and the U.N.-backed Special Court for Sierra Leone), and the election of a woman president in Liberia, Ellen Johnson-Sirleaf, who took President Bush for a dance last week during his trip there.! - http://youtube.com/watch?v=sVFGduqAM00&feature=user.
They love Bush in Liberia and Sierra Leone. What if they elect Muslim Presidents?
Your time would be better spent. Conspiracy theories about Obama being a Muslim spy are like those who have decided to be convinced that Cheney personally pushed the button on the demolition charges smuggled into the World Trade Center on 9/11/2001.
Get a grip.
Care in the Community its called. Government budget cuts to get mental patients out of hospitals and prisons. Started under Margaret Thatcher government in the 1980s.
Curiously I was in Birmingham city centre on the day he carried out his attack in Rackhams and I was asked to give blood. The first time I ever did.
