That's very charitable to those in power. Believe me when I tell you most don't give two hoots about looting and vandalism. You don't break up a gathering because there's the possibility of crimes occurring unless you li

In this case, the author is a well-known bad-faith actor who twists and contorts reality in order to sell her political agenda. Just any anything from this publication nowadays fits that mold. See David's Frum involvement. That's

There was massive grassroots opposition to Saddam too. And there is also precedent of a "grassroots" revolution back in 1953 in this very same country. Sorry that I'm taking this claim with a pinch of salt.

As far as strawmen go, this one is impressive.

Let's also be careful about sampling bias. The Shah regime is still widely despised in the country. If you're suggesting that we treat the revolutionaries as representatives of the people a la Chalabi and his motley crew in 2003,

That's purely conspiratorial and fact-free. It also has nothing to do with your charged language.

If you think you have inalienable rights in the US, you've bought the marketing.

> Or maybe, "International Zionism controls our foreign policy." You're welcome to think that, but I'm not going to engage. That's completely uncalled for and makes it look like you are arguing in bad faith.

Let's ask the opposite question. Why was Hawaii absorbed but not the Philippines? Who's in Hawaii today that's happy with the status quo, and whose sacred lands are being turned into a road? Did the native population choose t

Culling is not the issue. The passion is. You don't need to be any of the things you mentioned to understand the problem with killing for entertainment.
