I know I have said it before but Sammon is an excellent writer and if you have not read his books I would advise you to pick one up, it is hard to put down.

"Let freedom reign!"

I have a lot of friends who immigrated here from the middle east to escape the oppressive governments there, who have all said that if the US promoted freedom there the people would embrace it.

"W" heard the same things. :-)

Massive victory for the Neo-Con's.

Interesting that they never get praise from the media, but only insults.

"Something profound's going on right now, and what it really is, more than anything else, is a loss of fear," he said. "Every Arab regime has ruled basically through coercion and intimidation, and suddenly the fear factor is eroding."

Perhaps because they finally believe the U.S. is going to back them up after witnessing we'll take casulaties, economic hits and suffer world opinion. Perhaps because they have become convinced after watching the Ahfgan elections and now Iraqi elections that the U.S. isn't going to be like previous governments and attempt to take over their country. Instead we're going to help them develop their own governement to respect their rights and run as they see fit.

This can do wonders to dampen fear.

I agree about Sammon; but I wish the White House would just be quiet about this and let others do the talking.

Although careful not to gloat over encouraging developments...

It's quite nice (downright enjoyable, actually) when your main problem is having to be careful not to gloat.
