just biden our time
the obama administration decided to have Biden be the one that deliver the policy of keeping Mubarak as dictator of Egypt, with the fantastic salt in the wound of saying “he’s not a dictator”. sure, he alone wields power and has for over 30 years, after rigging elections to make sure the opposition didn’t win a single race for congress, but he follows the US orders so he’s not a dictator.
remember the whole “they hate us” meme? the stated reasons were specifically US support for israel and for middle east dictators in tunisia, egypt, yemen, and jordan. this is sort of neat, we are witnessing for real the US taking an active stance against democracy, and creating a new line of terrorists who hate us.
the only positive thing coming out of this is that we get a front for seat in seeing what happens to a modern nation’s business infrastructure when the entire internet is turned off. clear skies on your cloud computing day.
