88. Israel dude was wrong. The U.S. was not cheering
the Arab revolutions. Were you following this from the beginning?

Joe Biden: "Mubarak is not a dictator"
Obama: Mubarak is a good friend and ally of the U.S.
Hillary Clinton: 'The situation in Egypt is stable' or so she had hoped at the time.

Two of their favorite Dictator allies have been toppled. At least six more are being protested by their own people and the U.S. still supports them.

Tunisia was a shock, the people overwhelmed them and they could not stop the revolution. The Tunisians now have warned the U.S. to stay out of their business, their country is free and it is 'not for sale' any more. They have refused to meet with Hillary Clinton because of the U.S. support for Ben Ali. They want, and should get an apology.

Egyptian revolution followed quickly, the neocons didn't have time to move in. The U.S. continued to support Mubarak, tried to get the people to give him til the end of the year. But again, the people prevailed and the U.S. had no choice but to accept it. However they tried to install their favorite Egyptian torturer, Solemon. The people were having none of that. Egyptians also refusing to meet with Hillary Clinton because the U.S. continued to support Mubarak regime until they had no choice. They too want an apology for the years of suffering the U.S. aided and abetted.

Only in America does ignorance of the facts of our horrendous foreign policy still exist. No one trusts this country anymore unless they are a dictator or a puppet like Iraq's government.

Either we change our policies, or as Hillary herself admitted, 'we cannot get our message across anymore' she meant of course, 'our propaganda'. The Empire is crumbling as people across the globe for so long living under U.S. backed dictatorships are rising up and taking their countries back. Not just from their brutal, U.S. backed dictators, but from Western, Colonial influence.

We are not helping them to be free when we support out own brutal government's wars and torture and support for dictators. WE have to force changes in OUR government's violent and corrupt foreign policies or we will be left behind. The world is moving forward and leaving us behind, and there will be prosecutions of war criminals in the future. Victims never forget. We have not learned that lesson yet.
