^ Amen. It seems like such a large percentage of the Muslim community is of the fundamentalist-fanatic sort.

For myself personally, I've long felt a strong disgust at the fact that the USA supports oppressive governments.

Saudi Arabia in particular supports a system of goverment and "justice" that is totally opposed to just about everything the US is supposed to value. It's about time they were cast down by the teeming masses! I see from the press releases that they are scrambling to defend their tyrannical regime as a result of the situation. Prince Abdullah is so terrified that he is calling for peace with Israel. Every young woman in Sri Lanka ought to be thrilled that their days of slavery are coming to an end.

Yemen, Syria, Lebanon, and Jordan are all poised to collapse. The satellite nations who depend on the support of the corrupt governments in those places, like Somalia and Sudan, will probably also fall.

Yes...I noted today on NPR how American officials seemed most concerned that Mubarak might be replaced because his spot could be taken by a person or political group that wasn't pro-western. Forget democracy, forget liberty and justice for all! As long as oppression works on our behalf in the third world, great...
