The sweet dominoes of democracy.

What a clusterfuck.

Stability will come to the region any moment now :weep:

I used to think stability in the service of dictatorship was largely over-rated.

In theory, I still think that.

Ok, possible. "Released" was probably the word they were going for.

"Released" sounds equally pro-ISIS.  "Abandons" might be best.

It's damned if you do, damned if you don't.  Democracy will exist until the first winner dismantles it, dictatorship may live on but breed extremism due to its illegitimacy and administrative incompetency.  Maybe monarchy is the answer?

If I may ask, so what?
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

Raz is right. -MadImmortalMan March of 2017

In theory, there is no difference between theory and practice.

But, in practice, there is.
The future is all around us, waiting, in moments of transition, to be born in moments of revelation. No one knows the shape of that future or where it will take us. We know only that it is always born in pain.   -G'Kar
