Here we go again...and if it weren't so stupidly sickening, it would be laughable.
We have been supporting a dictator in Egypt for 30 years on the grounds that it was in our global interest to do so (Error #1, it is never in our interest to be on the side of oppression). We are telling the dictator and his opposition that we stand with both (Error #2, being on the side of both = being on the side of neither). We are telling that dictator and the Egyptian people what they must do in this time of unrest (Error #3, we have no right to tell any other country what it must do to solve its problems, particularly when we don't know how to solve our own). We have given billions of dollars to that dictator and, put your money on this, we will soon be sending more (Error #4, we are broke). We are saying we support democracy (Error #5, democracy is mob rule, we are a nation founded on and supportive of guaranteed individual rights and freedom).
Correction: We elected the wrong people (Error #1).
