Thanks for the ping, carpio! This is good news, indeed! I hope it is true.

The yearning of the human spirit for freedom is irrepressible, even if it takes the form of teenagers desiring American pop culture. As artificial, and superficial as it is, Americans are free to indulge in it, or leave it alone. I wish these young people well!

Good news, huh?
Maybe.
I don't see this as much more than the political pendulum swinging in the other direction which assumes there's a shred of truth to it to start.
Of what significance this would have to the price of tea in China?
No one knows; nor, could they say for sure.
After all, absolute power corrupts absolutely, eh.

On the same topic of, "Who's On First?"
This morning on FNC they ran a *news* ribbon at the bottom of the screen essentially claiming something like, "Libya's Col. Mohamar Khadafi Pledges To Help US Locate Islamic Terrorists."
...and I thought, "Oh God, no. Not that."

I mean, those culturesin the mideast?
They're a virtual laugh a minute.

Thanks for the ping...what could save that nation is it's middle class, and it could follow the route of Turkey.Note the Iranians have seized the opportunity to make amends with the US, and are attempting a serious rapproachment.Wait and see over the next 3 months, as if they loosen the screws, I wonder if its all over for them, much as it was for Gorby in Soviet Union.

They fight for Freedom, as Americans accept a police state.

Kind of ironic isn't it.
