So. the US thinks it makes sense to shove so-called democracy down the throats of the Iraqis and Afghans. But the Tunisians, the Egyptians, the Yemenis ... well, they're not ready for it yet. And the fact that their tyrants are our puppies, well, that's just a coincidence, right? Right?
I've reblogged these pages from the Egyptian activists' plans from The Atlantic.
Consider it done!
I wonder how this populist (a mostly Christian-and Muslim-led) revolt will go down with the bigots and xenophobes in Washington who will see this as more terrorism?
Hmm...maybe Chomsky was right, eh?

Conrad, for some reason (wonder what it could be?) the US, Israel, etc, are calling for "restraint" ... they haven't blamed Al Quaeda yet ... but we haven't heard from the teat [that's a typo but I'll let it stand, because teat rhymes with bleat) party ...
Chomsky was right about a LOT of things.
