Re: Fires of revolution sweep the Aran WorldIt couldn't be more clear than that... Pragmatism is a magic word used to ignore morality.It occured to me today while listening to the glowing praise heaped on the unrest in Egypt. For rioting and looting, the Egyptian protestors are characterized as peace loving individuals who simply seek government reform. Meanwhile, here in the US there is a group that peacably assembles demanding reform - they don't even litter where they assemble - and the same media characterizes the Tea Party here in the US as domestic terrorists and Tim McVeigh wannabe's. The world is upside down.Propping up military dictatorships in foreign countries is not in our best interest. Obviously another totalitarian Islamic state is also not in our best interest but outside of diplomacy, we should not interfere in the affairs of other states. No funding, no military support, no taking sides, just deal with the "winner" as best we can.
