This year has started in both an exciting yet uncertain way for the world at large and the middl-east in particular.
We witnessed the ousting of two despots , arab youth taking to the streets no longer fearful of the often tyrannical regimes that ruled them.
Asking for dignity something we surrendered some time ago.
The US mistake was to continue to support these often helpful tyrants until it was no longer sustainable. They holding on to their crowns with whispers of radical Islam being there replacement .
The double standards that are being applied are heart wrenching to those that admire the freedoms the west afford its citizens and denies them by bolstering these regional vassals.
This in the short term will end in tears and not only from the American supplied tear gas used on protesters in Bahrain.
We can not continue to live in a morally contaminated environment , Dictators are on the wrong side of history.
