Thanks for posting this. So far, he is the only one I heard articulate this so clearly.
The MSM is complicit in all this, constantly talking about “the protesters”, without telling us WHO the protesters are and what is their real agenda.
And of course Obama is fully aware and is helping this — he forced Mubarak to resign, but didn’t lift a finger or say a word, when Iran was killing their real democratic protesters.
Absolutely. Democracy is not in the Koran.
Ben Stein has reached the point with this child where I pay no attention whatsoever as to his convoluted blaterings.
“US President Barack Obama is expected to call on Middle East governments to respond peacefully to the democratic demands of their citizens, when he delivers a major address on American policy in the region this coming Thursday, White House Press Secretary Jay Carney said on Friday.
Obama has always viewed the future of the Middle East and North Africa through the prism of democracy and the yearning of the people there for political freedom and participation in their government, Carney said.
“I’m sure he will call as he has in the past on the governments in the region to respond to those [democratic] demands through peaceful political dialogue,” Carney said.
Governments who have used force against their own people in the name of preserving stability are only creating greater instability, he said.
“We’ve gone through a remarkable period in the first several months of this year in the Middle East and North Africa, and the president obviously has some important things to say about how he views the upheaval and how he has approached the US response to the events in the region,” said Carney.
The scheduling of the speech on May 19, just two days after a visit to Washington by Jordan’s King Abdullah II on Tuesday and a day before Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu is set to talk with Obama on Friday, has led to speculation that Obama might be unveiling a new peace plan with regard to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
The Wall Street Journal on Saturday, however, wrote that according to a senior US official the Obama speech would not focus on the stalled negotiations nor would it serve as a launching pad for new talks.”

IMHO, He is missing target, in support of "our" government who foments it. No way that the majority of Freepers could see it clearly and U.S. Governemnt with Alphabet soup of agencies supposedly could not.
They know what we do not - what is an endgame.
The powers that be hope to use Muslims as their tool, the same they used Communists and Nazis.
Their joint Communist/Nazi project left more than 100 MILLION dead. How many will die because of "Arab Spring"? 50 million, 100 million or more?
There is a huge difference between secular totalitarian ideologies such as Communisam and Nazism and Islam.
Some people wanted to resist Communism/Nazism and no gulag or konzlager could change that. And they succeeded.
In Islam, Gulag is one's head.
Or, in technical terms, there was a hidden OFF button for Communism/Nazism. In Islam, OFF button is omitted by design. It is either submit or die, until Islam controls the whole world.
How Powers that be hope to switch it off is beyond me.
Perhaps this joke could give us an insight
Yay, Ben Stein!!
The Arabs are going to end up as Persian slaves (again)
If you’d like to be on or off, please FR mail me.
