No happy hour for me in my favorite bar. Some of you might wonder why this can be, but this "happy-go-lucky, where is the action" -fag is glued to the TV screen, whatching the political developments in Egypt. It has for me the same fascination as the fall of the Berlin Wall, the downfall of the USSR, the end of the Ceaucescu-regime, all those sudden, unexpected, completely unpredicted shifts in political reality, that are so inescapably (and so sexy) brought to us by the modern media.
Whatching CNN, I can only smile when I see Obama caught with his pants down. Why is it that even a liberal president (in the perspective of the USA of course, for us he is just another moderate rightwinger) thinks he can protect American interests by supporting the most oppressive, dictatorial regimes, while at the same time championing the USA as the guardian of freedom and democracy?
It is not only the Mubarak regime that lost his position in the world, I am afraid. It is not Obama who lost Egypt, it is the USA that lost the world.
This forum is very dead lately, don't you all think?
Okeedoe, Susan, Oldblue, and all others I love to disagree with, I miss you!
