This is bad.
Real bad.
Samuel Jackson is the one that needs to wake the fuck up.
Taking bets. Who will the administration blame?

Mind you, FDR knew an attack on Pearl Harbor was imminent.
So it goes.

Wow. With all that's happened and the U.S. still wants to send aid to Egypt?
Par for the course for America supporting dictatorial regimes of all kinds but the timing of it seems strange.
I know Obama sees this as a "bump in the road" and believes the big picture will deliver democracy in the region so providing cash is a safe bet, but really, I'm not so sure. The trend (and history) is against this.
It is true, usually, after the fall of a political system known to a country leaves a gap that usually ushers in a nationalist type of party in power to "build up" the nation. However, can we truly believe the Muslim Brotherhood is a bridge to this future? Moreover, the logic we've seen regarding a low-level video-clip few people have seen or care about and how it's been received further suggests this region is far, far away from accepting a free democracy.
Which makes me wonder, is secularism a feature necessary to form a democracy as Turkey did?
As long as Islam remains, well, Islam. Democracy is a no-go.

Quick word on Harper not addressing the UN. It doesn't bother me much. The UN is toothless and given to a bunch of yahoos. The patience run that asylum. To me, Harper's stance is a principled one. Why humour an organization that votes in nations with such heinous human rights abuses that if they were human they'd get the death penalty in some places.
Nah. Harper should stick to what he believes on this one. If the next leader feels the UN is crucial to Canada's stance in world affairs (the punch above your weight theory) so be it. For now, I'm cool with ignoring it.
