Question: Why can't the radicals here take power and drive out the good liberals? Kidding.... There's so much hatred and drama in the middle east that it seems impossible for a moderate to come to power. Do they even have hope of a benevolent King? I say it is about prosperity of the middle class and opportunities for the working poor. If they had something to actually lose, then maybe trhings would be different. I do think that when the "world" provides them with an enemy, all focus is off their corrupt and inhumane leaders.

Rise, revolt, whatever. You can't have it both ways. If you can't expect mercy from your leaders, why do you expect mercy from us? Freedom is paid for in blood. But NOT with the blood of someone else's children.
