"The whole aim of practical politics is to keep the populace alarmed (and hence clamorous to be led to safety) by menacing it with an endless series of hobgoblins, all of them imaginary." ~ H.L. Mencken
Murder On The Streets Of Yemen - 42 Protesters Killed
As we rush in to "protect the right of the Libyan people to protest," people in Yemen are mowed down by government snipers with nary a whisper of outrage from the "international community." I guess Yemen hasn't the strategic importance to rate any sanctimonious speeches about human rights. The hypocrisy, I must admit, still amazes me sometimes....just as the fact that so many actually buy the propaganda that we invade these counties to "liberate" their people.
