January 28, 2004A Rebellion by any other NameIt appears that our monarch friends in Saudi Arabia are beginning to have a little rebellion on their hands. Note that they are now officially "rebels," not "terrorists." So much for having a nice objective, black and white view of the world where everybody that performs, "a systematic use of [a sense of intense fear], especially as a means of coersion, " (thanks, Merriam-Webster) is not a terrorist. This will be an interesting story to follow. If Bush' reasoning for entering Iraq was to spread democracy, and this rebellion gets squashed by the Saudi royal family, will we go in and help them out? Boy oh boy, though, the Middle East is a convoluted and complicated place... Posted by reid at January 28, 2004 06:58 PM | TrackBackComments
fucked up might be a better term for it. Although our views are based upon experiences with the American political system, thus we are biased from the get-go. A Saudi, or other middle eastern person, would probably have the same views about American politics. Posted by: henry on January 28, 2004 11:29 PMPost a comment
