Is the Middle East waking up from a totalitarian slumber? How much do you want to bet that Syria and Saudi Arabia are nervous? Let's not forget Iran....too many Middle Eastern countries to count...
Maybe even, dare I say,Washington? Take a look at Wisconsin and tell me if I am wrong.
The US supported Mubaruk for years and subsidized him for billions of dollars annually for nearly thirty years. Now the US is a champion for democracy? I am not trying to be cynical but it seems a little odd. At least someone in the State Department seems to be awake and reacting in time. It might be a little better to be genuinely supportive of democratic movements in the future though...just a little advice. Hopefully it works out.
Libya presents an interesting opportunity. We have had several clashes with him in the past and although recently Khaddafi has attempted to improve relations, the question we need to ask is this: will anyone miss him?
Let's not forget the Lockerbie bombing and a number of other terrorist attacks to busy to mention.
Remember what I said. Genuine support of democracy and push this guy over the edge.
Do this and suddenly you have two new allies in the Middle East.
Are they bright enough to recognize this in DC?
Cross your fingers but don't hold your breath....this administration has Americans getting stripped searched in airports and is trying to force everyone to buy health insurance.
