crisis of concept
we went into the middle east to "spread democracy", didn’t we?
our soldiers are dying every day to ensure that Iraqis can elect their own government, right? that’s the "noble cause" they risk their lives daily for, right?
so why is it that when the palestinians exercise this right, this noble cause, this great freedom, the first response of the "white" world is to question the judgment of the people themselves, then threaten to cut off all relations…. because they take issue (perhaps with good reason) with the people’s choice….
but that’s too fuckin’ bad, folks!!! if it’s really democracy, and not the chicken-shit "yes’m boss" crap that passes for "free elections" in Iraq, then the people elect who they want, and if you don’t like it, it’s too damned bad.
it’s their country. oh wait — they don’t have a country yet…. but that’s something else again…
