You come up with the best jokes. West continues it’s triumphant strut. Look a lot more to me like a blind man negotiating Harvy Norman during a Boxing Day sale.

You just can’t seem to get your head around the headlines can you sweetie?

Do you honestly believe that Afghanistan is in the clear by any stretch of the imagination? What future do you think democracy has in Iraq if it becomes a theocracy? Indonesia has always been essentially a one party state and will remain so. Libya has doen what exactly in moving towards democracy?

Yes, it can be hard to read and think at the same time. Keep practicing with waling and chewing gum You’ll get there.

It is actually the moral narcissistic western bourgeois left who is experiencing the nightmare as Islamic nations emerge from centuries of ignorance and poverty and start tasting the fruits of the european enlightenment and the Anglosphere’s liberal democracy.

From Indonesia to Malaysia to Iraq to Libya and next to Iran, Afghanistan, and onwward the West continues its triumphant strut.

It must suck being you.

Poor dear.

Ironic in the sense that "democracy" was imposed on Iraq. It would be one of the few times we've witnessed it imposed by an external force.<br/><br/>It would also be ironic because the US has been so much more successful this past century at removing democracies than installing them.
