It seems someone doesn't understand geopolitics very well and it isn't Palin. Oh btw O don't see Iraq in open revolt.
What do the Iran, Egyptian, and Libyan revolutions all have in common? Each saw their citizens revolt against their leaders on humanitarian grounds.
Yes, Iran and Egypt were our allies. None the less, a theocratic government was installed when the Ayatollah Komenie return to Iran from France.
In Egypt another popular cleric has returned home from abroad. He is very popular and it’s my take he will be forming a new government. That government will very likely be modeled after the Iranian government.
Libya hasn’t even toppled it’s government yet, but I’d bet a dollar to a donut the same thing is about to take place there. Is that going to be positive for the West? Will it even be a positive thing for the women of Lybia, or Egypt?
Sarah seems to believe that the same people who danced in the streets after 09/11 and the return to Libya of the Lockerby Bomber, are on the verge of some mystical awakening that will lead to something positive. I don’t kid myself in that regard at all.
The only statement that has merit right now, is condemning Khadaffy’s actions against his own people. No leader should be doing that sort of thing. None the less, the chaos in Libya will not end with his removal. You can take that to the bank.
At this moment, the Egyptians are trying to destabilize the military. When that is accomplished, anything goes. And it will go.
I don’t believe Sarah understands much of this. I’m sure you believe differently, but I am allowed to have my own thoughts on this. Sorry we have to disagree.
