Henry K. is right!

"Just don't call it 'Arab Spring'", FFS!

Unlike the pro-Arab US president, Henry Kissinger over the weekend put the fabled "Arab Spring" - a Western media spin to romanticize the bloody regime changes in some Arab countries - into the correct perspective. Whilst Obama calls today's Libya a "democracy Libyans deserve," ironically at the occasion to welcome home four US diplomats just killed in Benghazi, the former Secretary of State accurately judged the new order in the Arab world as something of a far cry from our values. Like myself, HK has not conceived last year's tempestuous revolts as a new dawn for democracy, illicitly labeled in the media after the "Prague Spring" of 1968.

"It is rather impossible to expect that political parties which introduce, maintain, impose and defend Sharia Law evolve into democratic parties; not for the foreseeable future," HK reminds the White House. That's the dilemma: when newly emerged leaders insist that state and religion have to be identical, diverging opinions, parties, creeds and critics will have to be curtailed, muffled and persecuted.

After the fall of the Mubarak government in Egypt, 75% of the people voted for radical islamists to succeed the autocratic leader. Egypt receives more than $1.6 billion in economic and military aid a year. Such contributions will be a hard sell to the American taxpayer if American installations and businesses go up in flames over something as silly and miniscule as a less than B-rated flick.

Muslim crocodile tears

Islamists try to pass on themselves as victims of some Western aggression and want to make the rest of the world believe that the prophet they feign to worship was anything else but a miserable cretin and perverted scum bucket.

They pretend now to be "oh so hurt" by a flick that is so dumb that only they would deduce any coherent message from it. These 'wounded' feelings, rightfully mocked and ridiculed by me and others, would appear more genuine if Arabs stopped their weekly routine of blowing up or shooting up mosques and other places of muslim worship after Friday prayers, and all in the name of said "prophet."
