In order to get a better view of the forest, apparently we need to cut down those annoying trees.
It is only quite recently that "voters" even existed at all in the Middle East. It is an American invention, this self detremination stuff. Before then, the Caliphs decided who got stoned to death each morning.
A "government" is not something distinct and separate from the wishes of the people. A government is a distillation of what people will tolerate and what they will cheer for.
Tyrants and thugs have long understood this. We need to also.
George Will then posits that there is a difference between a "government" which is controlled and intimidated through fear and evil, by a group of murderous thugs... and a government which is controlled and intimidated through fear and evil by a group of murderous thugs, who bothered to place a few of their own on the city council, as it were.
Do you really find a difference in this?
Do you really believe that it will prevent one round from being fired, or cause one second of pause, in the forces who reply to attacks upon their people? Will the jews appreciate the subtlety, as they clean up the blood pools? I had to be flip in my reply, but isn't this an example of an anti-semantic attitude?
Is that so? Well my government has murdered millions of unborn children...all Will is saying is that the talk talk libs had their way and it is a disaster. Now the truth about Arabs is revealed. He is saying that the New York Times can no longer rail at Israel about its actions by claiming it is a few extremists who are not in control of the country causing the violence. He said the elections revealed an extremist government. It was always there, but now we can no longer deny its existance.
