Middle Eastern protests

Ladies and gentlemen, this thing is getting serious. It started with Egypt protests. Now, it has spread across the middle east. Now Libya and several other countrise have turned lose the military, opening fire on civilians. Gunboats firing on women and children. Might makes right.

Makes you glad to live in a country that doesn't do that right? Sure, we aren't as free as we used to be. But the army hasn't been sent in against the Tea Party, Immigration, Pro-Union protests, (even when they turn moderately violent). Qaddafi is an evil dictator, the like this world has seen, well, a lot. Hussien, Il, Stalin, Hitler, all are famous for such actions, but this true in much of Africa and the Middle East, even central and South America, Cuba, Haiti, and the list goes on. Mostly, it doesn't make the news. Like Uganda and the Congo.

Once again I must say, I'm glad that my citizenship is not of this world, and my loyalty is to no president, prime minister, or dictator, but only the King of kings.
