I'm Your Puppet

My advice for anybody that cares so much about what happens in the middle east is just to go there. I guarantee nobody there gives a damn about you.

1) Libya - Qadaffi underestimated his popularity when he opened the taps to Italy. Once people were becoming wealthy enough, out was the only place he was going to go to. It's true the US dove in on the issue of oil - although I think it was more to do with the fear of major oil jolts than it was about ownership. There were some jackal chads licking their chops in Washington, they didn't get anything they wanted.
2) Egypt - People did not want a dynasty. I don't know if they thought they could overcome the army, although there are some that are hoping the military can concede. We'll see. We know the army has the backing of the US.
3) Syria - Mini-Iran. The US is hoping Assad will be toppled but doesn't want to get too involved unless it stirs up Iran. The US is banking on Erdogan's intervention.
4) Tunisia - a ratty velvet revolution, it seems. Still has support of the US.
5) Algeria - fairly stable, despite protests
6) Yemen - the US doesn't know what it wants from it, so it is not getting much coverage.

You never post links to anything, you don't provide any evidence of anything, you make ill-informed, or outright false pronouncements on complex issues you don't know anything about. Why?

And for crazy jane to call me a troll. She doesn't remember who stuck up for her when she was banned.

I would guess that the millions of people on the receiving end of US and NATO freedom-bombs and IMF freedom/poverty programs do give a damn about people in the US.
