Self-serving dictators and theists will always find reasons to snuff it out to increase their personal power and appropriate the wealth of their people. The last thing ME Arabs need is a hands-off approach from the West. They need our help finding a better life through democratic means. Let's give them as much as we can.Ray Pellandhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12052112663991555064noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13539920.post-90784081754599631382009-12-10T16:59:17.133+02:002009-12-10T16:59:17.133+02:00Anonymous: The US exists today because France help...Anonymous: The US exists today because France helped the US in 1776.<br /><br />Israel survival is in part due to help from the US.<br /><br />Fledgling democracies need help from others.<br /><br />Despotic terrorist populations like the Palestinians, don't.Jameel @ The Muqatahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15890095633246557332noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13539920.post-79363576705321837492009-12-10T16:44:07.335+02:002009-12-10T16:44:07.335+02:00I can't really agree with you about your expec...I can't really agree with you about your expectation for support of any kind of political demonstration, from the president of the USA.<br /><br />That's because we should be learning to mind our own business, instead of minding someone else's. Supporting various factions involved in Middle East politics is what got us into the giant mess that we're in now.<br /><br />We should be trying to slowly back away from the whole political nightmare over there, and let the people who live there work out their differences. After all, that's what we expect the world to do when we are having "issues." Israel expects the same thing.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
