Democracy in the Middle East
« on: February 24, 2011, 03:07:54 pm »
Not the bullshit slogans of the Bush Administration, but actual democracy rising up from the streets of Egypt, Tunisia, and now Libya and even Saudi Arabia.

I guess the right wing in this country is waiting to see how it goes before they try to take credit for this.

I hope I never have to refer to a scone in spoken conversation.

I'd give you a can for this, but I just spent one on you elsewhere. If I was a mod, I'd just give you 2735 cans and call it good.

Free countries trade more and grow more. We all make money on democracy. (I made percentage points on the oil spike, but Saudi Arabia had to go and ruin that fun)

I don't think anyone can claim responsibility for this except for the crew with the largest balls in the universe that is taking to the streets. That or the CIA. I could easily be sold the idea that we were in on this from the inside.

...largest balls in the universe...the CIA...

I think that they are mostly mutually exclusive terms these days. Maybe back in the '60s. Now if you said Mossad, I might be on board.

He did say "or", but some of the referents are a little unclear to me.
