Eygpt, Libya, Bahrain, and even Jordan are facing a lot of unrest.  Is it a movement for real democracy, or is there something more sinister at work there?  Remember the Iranian Revolution?   How Jimmy Carter did nothing to protect the Shah, and the result is, well Iran today is seeking to build its own Nuclear Arm Arsenal.

Is it even our business, to meddle into the internal affairs of any foreign nation?  Would we want Libya or Iran to meddle in our internal affairs?

What goes on in these countries, is horrid. The transgressions against people is unbelievable, and yet we seem to pick and choose who we will support, to what extend, and then we wonder, why when it is all over, they hate our guts.

There is no consistent policy by any of our governments today. Are we basing our support for the rebel movement in Libya, because they do represent a democratic movement, or are we hedging our bets, due to the Oil?

How about Eygpt?

Mubarrack was an elected President, as was the Government. Maybe not a cleanly elected one, but is any Government free of voter fraud?  So we drop our support, maybe even pressure him to give in, and now the military is in charge. Now protests are banned, people ordered home, and no clear solution to who will eventually be in charge, is in place. Instead we have Military people calling the shots.

So uh, how the fuck is that any better, than what was in place?

Do we even know who is leading the rebellion in Libya, and what their goals are?

How about those in Bahrain? Are they democratic, or are they aligned with some ultra religious sect?  After all, George Bush was, and no one knew it until it was too late. So are these so called Democratic Uprising, really about Democracy?

Maybe, before we take to the streets in support, or put sanctions in place, we should find out, just who is calling the shots for these uprisings.  After all, wasn’t it US businessmen who supported Castro against Baptista, and look at how well that turned out.
