What do you guys think about this? Until the very end, the U.S. (Obama) tried to stay out of the conflict for the most part. He threw his support for the protesters a day before Mubarak "resigned". We're 100% behind the Iranian people in their efforts, but in other countries we're not (because the leaders of those countries will bend to our will). Should this be the case? I think that I support the protesters in all of the cases, no matter if it'll be better for the U.S. or not. (I feel like it will be better for us in the long term, in any case...) But does it make sense for the U.S. to only throw support to those whose leaders we want out of power? I know it's all about the politics game, but shouldn't we stand for the principles we were founded upon, at least? |

due to the fact that i've recently watched the first two lord of the rings movies again i thought this discussion was "Thoughts on Middle Earth Protesting" either way i think protesters are in the right and the U.S. should support them |

The U.S. should stay neutral in these protests and let them work themselves out, take a lesson from other developed countries and stay out of a shit-storm. Even the Google executive dude who is mostly responsible for the protests said something to the effect that they didn't need our support and still don't need it and we need to mind our own fucking business, and I agree with him. | ||

We end up spending resources we don't have, and make things messy by not allowing the middle eastern countries to handle it, in the middle east. we don't know much about there culture and getting involved might make it worse |

The only reason indian people exist is to make medicine to keep white people alive. We shouldn't be trusting the crazy fucks to be governing themselves. I say we put a white man at the top of every government in the world to ensure global safety. |
