Can't you see?
Isn't it wonderful?
Our Dear Leaders are adding yet another set of foreign rebels to their Friend List:
Meanwhile, the very same Dear Leaders here are diligently preparing new measures to crackdown on all anti-government dissenters in their own countries.
Look. In the first place we have no goddamn business interfering with anything that happens in Syria or Libya or Egypt.
But even if you think we do have some business there, you have to see that our elites are specifically befriending pro-religious, isolationist, nativist protesters in those Arab countries, while ramping up a new crackdown against pro-religious, isolationist, nativist protesters in Western countries.
I suppose it's a normal tyrannical hypocrisy. Still, it's a fairly new one. Before the Bush/Obama dynasty, we routinely cracked down on Christians and populists here, but made no pretense of supporting anti-secular nativists in Egypt and Syria. Before 1989 we were consistently pro-secular and pro-internationalist.

Sidenote: It occurs to me that the above, read out of context, might leave an ambiguous or incorrect impression of my own position.
To be clear: I'm in favor of ALL nationalist and separatist movements that aim to re-establish native cultures and religions. I'm against ALL arbitrary nation-states, against ALL multi-culti secular regimes. In some places those nationalist movements will be Christian, in other places Islamic, in others Buddhist, etc.
Our Dear Leaders are adding yet another set of foreign rebels to their Friend List:
Foreign Secretary William Hague urged the "discredited" Syrian regime to end its violent repression as the United Nations Security Council adopted a statement condemning attacks on civilians and widespread human rights abuses.
Prompted by an intensification of the three-month-old bloody crackdown against anti-government protests...
