Arab Uprisings: Still Writing History

Every situation stands on its’ own; but, I see a larger picture here. It seems to me that we have a ‘revolutionary situation’ in the Arab World. We may have to, essentially, ride out this wave. I think that we are in for a long period of strife in that part of the world. I think that we need to prepare for that.

It looks to me that US is pretty reluctant to get militarily involved here; perhaps due to Iraq.
I think that Libya is quite different from Iraq. On the merits, I think that the US should not take a front seat.

Air action does have limited effect. But, the Europe and the US does not want to be heavily involved. It seems to me that a no fly zone is a variety of ‘making a statement’. If there is a real wish wish for ‘firing for effect’, supplying arms to the rebels would be quite useful.

Jerry Seinfeld.

I have come to believe that american news and politics has been “Seinfelded to death”.

What is this about? Nothing. Now, shut up!

bito, this serious.
I do not know how it will play out.
It seems to be either blatant vote fraud, or incredible incompetence.

This book was written by Richard Hofstadter years ago.

But this paranoid style is alive and well
