You don't 'have it good' if you depend on the government oppressing, torturing and disappearing others.

- toyg 14y agoIf the alternative is oppressing, torturing and disappearing YOU, I'd argue you have it quite good indeed. EDIT: to clarify, I'm not saying that murderous dictators are a good thing. What I'm saying is that, by toppling them with all-out revolutions, they've probably thrown the baby out with the bathwater, because they've discredited the whole nationalist/secularist argument. Considering Qadafi and Mubarak were getting very old, it would have been much better to negotiate a gradual transition to parliamentary rule, like they've had in Spain or Chile.
