I presume that is from Arab Spring, Round 1.

I've seen some internet murmurings from Egyptians pissed at Obama for foisting Morsi (sp?) on them.

Or they could have at least acknowledged her amazing arms.

Is that a fact?  I thought he was the Muslim Brotherhood dude who won the election.  How did Obama foist him on them?  I am sure he did in some weird way that is not obvious to me.

:hmm:

Whoever the US isn't actively trying to overthrow is Obama's bitch, whoever the US is actively trying to overthrow is the hero of the Arab peoples.

Edit: You voted for him despite our warnings, now he's your problem Egypt.

A terrorist which starts a slaughter quoting Locke, Burke and Mill has completely missed the point.
The fact remains that the only person or group to applaud the Norway massacre are random Islamists.

To preserve the legacy of the Arab Spring, some general needs to take charge of the situation, marginalize Muslim Brotherhood, and bring some order for the next few decades.

I'm sure they will eventually realize that it's all the Jews' fault.

Jesus guys, how many times do I have to explain to you?

East of the Atlantic, there will be a portion of the population in any country (the more east, the more people) who will believe that everything they do not like is the making of the US. And the Jews at times, although the eastern you go, the less difference is between these two.

:P


To be fair - perhaps the islamist phase is the first step in their learning curve towards democracy...  I doubt it but there's a possibility they need to freely chose to be ruled according to islamic principles - enough to get sick and tired of them - in order to flush those out of their system so to speak...

We tend to forget it took *us* centuries to evolve our current democracies...  And we also forget the Muslim world hasn't had the Reformation and the Enlightenment we had 500 years ago...  It maybe they cannot collectively develop democracy along lines we recognize but we won't know until they've tried.  Naturally it could also turn out the way Iran turned...  :lol:
