• The thing about freedom: It spreads
• "Purple Finger" Oscar rally UPDATE: SUNDAY at noon: Hollywood & HIGHLAND, parking ideas, IHOP
• DRUDGE: Bush Coins Phrase - Calls Iraq 'Purple Revolution'

For those of you haven't break down and give Chris a little incentive, 20 bucks goes a long way to keeping this comic going.

BTW the coffee cup is great.

Rainbow Revolution of 2005 for democracy. World Revolution for democracy continues.

I wouldn't know, stopped buying the chicago tribune when it started running.

If US was not engaged in Operation Iraq Freedom with coalition force in Iraq at this time, probably Syria could have raided and killed the protesters of Anti-Syria Lebanese calling for the retreat of Syria force after the murder of Hariri. In fact, it does seem to be a domino theory of democracy in Middle East at work. Could Iran be next for a revolution?

I own a large DBD coffee mug.

I think the order will be that in the bumper sticker above. Syria will be compelled to release Lebanon then will fall. Iran will be completely isolated. It has a thriving popular movement that wants to get rid of the mullahs. Saudi Arabia will be the hardest to bring out of the 8th century.

There is an obvious mideast solution. The Arab borders are arbitrary from after WWI. Topple the Saud family, give Saudi Arabia to the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan (which was SUPPOSED to get the Muslim holy cities and got 2/3 of Palestine, then renamed Transjordan to be later renamed Jordan, as a consolation), renaming it Jordan. Then Jordan becomes "Palestine" (it already has a Palestinian majority) and there is a population transfer (Pakistan/India style) out of Gaza, Judea and Samaria into the vast area of ex-Jordan.

$100 goes to anyone who can find me an atlas printed before WWI that says "West Bank" and not "Judea and Samaria". Jesus never knew "Palestine". When the Romans were victorious, they minted coins saying "Judea Capita".

Yup Sits on my desk top slightly stained and my Freep cup is now the designated pen holder.

We all must make sacrifices, mustn't we.
