The train wreck rolls on.
Stuff by Fred Grandy.
“If freedom and democracy are waiting to sprout from Tunis to Manama, where are the seeds? Who exactly is doing the sowing?”
The top question of 2011!!
The train wreck rolls on.
Try to understand it.
Grandy is better in print than he is on radio
I would add that Europe had western traditions and was primarily Christian in their faith. Both of these facets helped smooth the transition beginning in 1989. The Muslim culture has no democratic or individual-based traditions; they’ve always been dictatorial and autocratic. More despots will rise from this so-called “Arab spring”. Muslim “culture” is incompatible with western representative republics and democracy.
Why don't any of our politicians ever recommend representative republics with the rule of law? (you know the answer)
Well one thing’s for sure. If they let Daffy live....and they probably will, since if they really wanted to kill him, they wouldn’t have waited and given him time to hide...he’ll be gunning (literally) for America from here to eternity. Just what America needs...another radical Muzzy that hates us...and no doubt, just what Obama wanted.
But, but, but......
Carter freed the Iranians, didn’t he?
Now The Obamasiah Himself is carrying on that democrat party tradition in Egypt, Libya and other venues yet to be announced.
Americans and in particular the cloistered average democrat middle class voter are as dumb as a box of rocks. They want to believe everything piece of scary disinformation they are fed.
Self governance was not a new and unfamiliar concept to the people of Poland or Czechoslovakia. They had experience with liberty, a deep sense of history, and before WWII, highly developed western cultures and economies. In contrast, Russia lacked a history of representative democracy, and we see how corrupt 'strongmen' have continued to dominate, whether Putin in government or mobsters in the larger economy.
I agree. I was shocked by how quickly the boys over at the NR were arguing for us to institute a no-fly zone over Libya, and now the complaint with Obama is that he took a month before getting involved.
There’s got to be some seriously misguided think-tankism behind this, and I fear the GOP is embracing in foreign policy what Romneycare is to Obamacare.

I saw last nite on Beck’s show a slick commercial done by the Iranians about the imminent return of the 12th Imam.
This is not good.
Totally agree. this “revolution” will lead to a re-established Islamic Caliphate not a democratic Middle East.
LOL
Very good points by Mr. Grandy. I can’t even watch FNC at this point, they are all breathlessly telling us how great it is that the rebels are advancing. I hear no discussion about the fact the all of these revolutions are quickly laying the ground for the caliphate. It is utterly disgusting.
Add to all that the serious failure, and I really mean FAILURE, to set up functioning, liberty-respecting democratic republics in either Afghanistan or Iraq (and Iraq, where some of the worlds OLDEST Christian communities reside, has lost HALF of it’s Christian population since we took over...), why in the WORLD do we have the hubris to think we can bring peoples determined to live in the 7th Century up to speed with into a deep respect for religious, economic, and cultural liberty???
