The Billiken's Bluff

On the topic of my disagreement with the Got yesterday, I would point out that at least one Lebanese dissident did have this to say (quote via David Brooks in the NYT:

“It’s strange for me to say it, but this process of change has started because of the American invasion of Iraq. I was cynical about Iraq. But when I saw the Iraqi people voting three weeks ago, eight million of them, it was the start of a new Arab world.” - Lebanese dissident Walid Jumblatt

Starting to see a pattern here?

High fives all around to the participants of these multi-colored revolutions. We are praying for their success in the long-term - at least, most of us are. Others, like certain prominent Democrats, openly hope for American failure in bringing democracy to the Middle East. Mindblowing. I don't know, as historic progress once deemed impossible by our liberal elite naysayers continues to unfold in the region, one can perhaps forgive the bitter Anti-Bushocrats for certain childish statements made in interviews with John Stewart. I guess.

By the way, in case there are some confused Anti-Bushocrats out there: V does not stand for peace in the above photographs. It stands for victory.
