Okay at the risk of sounding more offensive than normal, lets call a
Spade a spade. People have been dancing around the whole “Is it a
Coup or isn't is a Coup” since this Bullshift started. Some argue
that the Military forces took control after the elected president
went berserk with power and had to be stopped. Others argue that the
military took over because they didn't want the Muslim Brotherhood to
regain any sort of power base. I am no expert on political matters
or military matters, but I am pretty sure the point just became moot.
When a Force in charge of any government resorts to wholesale
slaughter of mostly unarmed civilians, it officially becomes
something that is pretty much the exact opposite of Free and Open.
When a Government is so fearful of peaceful (and up until these
attacks occurred, they were peaceful) that it murders its populace
then we definitely have some major issues. With the actions of the
Military/Interim Government, the question of Coup or No Coup (God I
love that show, Howie Mandell is the Bomb. Huh, what did you say?
Deal or No Deal not... Oh sorry about that. Carry on.)
Sadly the US and other Egyptian “allies” have still not taken any
actions to sanction this. Sure we have heard some pseudo strong
words from Clinton and Kerry (Affectionately known as Frick and
Frack. I'll leave you to decide which is which.) but no real action.
I mean we can't afford to alienate one of the few nations in the ME
that at least pretends to like us, can we? People are dead and the
“Government” has promised to use live ammunition on anyone else
who rises up so the death toll is sure to rise.
Now folks, I could care less about the whole ME fiasco. The US has
been meddling either directly or indirectly forever and has
accomplished pretty much squat. Off the top of my head I cannot
think of a single nation that can serve as a good example anywhere in
the Region. 90% of them hate us and the other 10% barely tolerate
us. Israel, our so called closest ally, has deliberately broken more
treaties during its so-called peace talks than Lindsay Lohan has
missed court dates. We actually invaded Afghanistan and Iraq and
look what that has gotten us.
I am tired of tolerating a bunch of extremists disguised as Nations
just because we need oil. I am tired of sending billions of dollars
a year in money and military in not so subtle bribes in the vain hope
they might make nice nice with us. And I am so very very tired of
our Ruling Regime turning their heads as hundreds of people are
murdered.
It is high time we essentially said, “Okay play nice with each
other or no more presents from us.” Sure it will probably piss
them off and they might (I say might because what else do most of
these countries have to sell but oil and the US is one of the largest
purchasers of said oil.) cut off our oil. But hey we need to work on
alternative energy sources anyways so that might actually be a good
thing.
The simple fact is that if any other nation we associate with (UK,
Japan etc) did what is happening in the ME right now, we'd be
(literally up in arms) about it. We wouldn't tolerate Britain mowing
down a bunch of protesters objecting to the newest Cricket Uniform
Colors. After all why do we care of we piss one of those countries
off, we have lots more allies in Europe. But since we are so
desperate for anything resembling a friendly face in the ME we simply
look the other way.
Brew Long and Prosper
