![]() It's started! For all those that complain that the US should now go after every other dictator, like in Yemen and Bahrain and so on. I say it's not practical, moral or ..wise for the US to take on all the dictators of the world at the ...same time. Our policy should be; The Worst...First! As in we take on the worst of the dictators first. One at a time. Right now it's Libya. And wait for the next popular democratic uprising for us to act. So we can act when the opportunity arises, not from some politically motivated deadline of our choosing as with Iraq. Hopefully the Libyan campaign will set a template for taking down other dictators in a similar situation as in Libya. And once we successfully implement a template for supporting democratic uprisings against the .Worst the dictators the world has to offer. The remaining (less dangerous) dictators will know we can take them down too, that they're days are numbered. The old 'Domino Effect' only works for things people want. Like democracy. It didn't work for communism back in the Vietnam days, and it won't work for terrorism either. Only popular movements can snowball. Just imagine all the benefits to the region if all these countries in transition, Iraq, Afghanistan, Tunisia, Egypt and Libya successfully build governments ruled by the consent of the majority?

I wonder what would happen in the USA if people got organized and started an actual revolution to get rid of their present regime. Would the government forces fight back? I'd say it's pretty likely. Would it escalate to deadly force? Probably. Internal forces already use deadly force against Americans, sometimes blatantly like in the case of the police, sometimes not so blatantly like in the case of food poisoning, radiation, misinformation and so on. So if there were a USA revolution, would other countries condemn the USA government and then subsequently attack it? Or would they support the government and help squash the revolution? Or would they stay out of it altogether? What's your opinion? How would you feel in any of the above scenarios? Really, I'm curious. |

I wonder what would happen if the Flemish population of Belgium staged a revolution, took over the Government and started to massacre the Walloons. Would you want France and other countries to intervene militarily to save the lives of the Walloons? What's your opinion? How would you feel in the above scenario? Really, I'm curious. |
