I remember writing my first post here, saying that the Domino won’t happen in the Arab World, even though much speculated. So far it seems, that what I said is correct. The protests in the Arab World with the exception of Tunisia, and Egypt is mostly quashed. Some place, by outright force, some place, by clever politics, with lots of new rights given to the citizens, and in some place, with the leaders declaring that they won’t stand for election anymore.
Mostly, except Libya. Libya, headed by the famous bore, who found an alternative of sleeping pills by making every one sleep in the UN General Council with his epic monotonous drone of 1 hour and 36 minute speech, so far one of the longest in the history of the organization. Delusional Muammar Gaddafi, who likes to call himself a Colonel, started to bomb his own citizens, much fiercer than the crackdown of Tiananmen Square, which left over 220 dead in one single day.
Now what was US and the world powers doing? Giving “strong statements”, when the Libyan diplomats all over the world, are actually crying for help, and intervention, in what can be termed as the worst ongoing genocide since Serbian War. Diplomats all over the world are resigning en masse, the fighter pilots who were ordered to bomb their own countrymen, defecting to other nations, out of conscience.
Yes, USA under Barack Obama is acting as a senile, old, craven spent force.
In the last two years, the administration has betrayed its most trusted friends, including Dalai Lama, Taiwan, South Korea. The progress under Bush with India was squandered by giving crores of taxpayer’s dollars to Pakistan which they effectively used to make the fifth largest Nuclear arsenal in the world. Israel, the USA’s most trusted ally, was shown a cold shoulder, when Iran had two of their warships pass through Suez, in an act, which was not done, since 1979. The traditional sphere of influence in its own backyard, the Lat-Am, is all lost to leftists, with the exception of Colombia, maybe.
Some may point out, why will a foreign force intervene? After all, Iraq was a sovereign, wasn’t it wrong to intervene in others affairs? The answer is, when you see another man, being beaten, and killed by another man, you try to stop. Not because you have a specific political motivation, but because you are a human…
