For me, however, it seems as though the right would be actively cheering on these revolutionaries that are finally trying to bring about change. The other side of the coin in these revolutions against Secular Dictators is a Mullah takeover. We didn't know that ten years ago. It's obvious now. That is why you find us not cheering them on. You think it's because we are automatically against Obama in FP. And we are. Our reason for that has been watching him take the wrong position, as far as we are concerned, on every ME issue.

The problem is that now many recognize that these arab muslims are not going to embrace democracy the way we hoped. These societies will shift more towards Sharia law and radicalism. For most of the arabs muslims their culture is defective and far to engrained to change without some transformative event. These people are not going to be able to benefit from improving living standards to be able to take a more liberal view of the world. How are they going to compete with Chinese, Vietnamese and Indians? People who will work hard, study and not blame jews for every problem. Basically I think we are screwed, somehow or another our fate is tied to an area with 2/3 of the worlds oil. This area is ripe for massive violence and anarchy. A society cant blame the jews and america for its failures forever. Throw out the dictators and the mullahs will follow, just like in Iran.
