If nobody else does, I do remember your neo-con posts during the Bush fiasco. Slither back to your nest.

By definition a mob is, well, mindless. That's why they're so dangerous and why a riot -- a real one -- is something you never want to experience. Unlike a military operation that has an objective, a plan and the means to carry it out (like the assault on our base in southern Afghanistan over the weekend) a rioting mob loots, burns and assaults anything in its path. It is a mindless violent force that pays no attention to anything other than whether what is in front of it is a good outlet for its rage. It is utterly indiscriminate and exhibits no evidence of planning, command or control. CNN reported that the mobs outside the US Embassy were the same people they see at every protest. The CNN reporter who lives in Cairo referred to them as professional hooligans. Romney got this one right, as have those of us who have called this incident a military terrorist incursion into United States territory, targeting both property and person. It was an invasion, albeit a limited one, and a military action. The Republican take on these protests is why we need to keep you all out of power until you grow up.
