Arab Spring Turning Against the US?

Recommended Posts

I am so thankful I don't believe in a Supreme Being who is so helpless that he could be harmed by what a non-believer says, forcing me to take violent action to protect him.:S

Sure is nice to hear them condemning the killing of our Ambassador.


[:/]



The Libyan ambassador was on NPR this afternoon doing just that.

Here is a detailed timeline (it makes Romney and Reince Priebus look like opportunistic jerks):

Sept. 9

Egyptian television airs an Arabic-language scene from the Bacile film



So Egyptian TV made it blow up, eh?

And again, it's a head scratcher that that the President's Admin disavowed the embassy statement. Then the Secretary of State Admirably responded with a statement that included this: "But let me be clear: There is never any justification for violent acts of this kind."

I've been critical of Hillary Clinton. On this she gave the message that I support.

But - the issue for me is, "why the hell are we in the business of toppling governments and creating instability?" Recall that Bin Laden liked us a lot, too. At first. Till our usefulness ended to him and we stuck around too long. Check out all the places we've destabilized and let whatever nutcases have the most firepower fight over.

Strawman - no one claimed any such thing.

Making silly statements like that does nothing for your position except weaken it.

Rounding up a bunch of crazies isn't that hard in most countries. That doesn't mean most people think that way.

Wow! Nobody could have seen that coming...



The title of this thread would assume that the Arab Spring was pro US (or at least friendly US) to begin with.

Anybody with any brain at all knew that was not the case

Actually, given what I've seen today, I think Libya as a nation has done the most respectful things that can.
Pretty surprising from that corner of the world.

Other 'allies' in that area.....[:/]



Libyan President on radio this morning apologizing "to the American people"...

False, John. I made the claim. Quit making factual statements that are provably false.

Such things tell me you are feeling and not thinking.



So you are now debating with yourself and making up your own strawmen for you to attack.

Funny folks, lawyers.
