Math class is hard
As Polistra has noted several times already, the neocon leaders in DC are hopelessly confused about the Arab Spring.

Nothing in the actual event is confusing. Rebels disliked their old regimes because their old regimes were serving America and Israel instead of serving the PEOPLE OF THEIR OWN FUCKING COUNTRY. Though the rebels haven't yet settled the shape of their new regimes, they agree on the basics. Secular regimes that favored Christians and Jews are out; the new system must generally favor the Muslim majority.

These goals are transparently clear. Nothing remotely mysterious. Any friend of civilization, any friend of decent government, should celebrate the goals if not always the immature first results.

But why should DC celebrate? It's still a mystery. The old regimes were our SOBs, and the new regimes are cultural if not military adversaries of DC. Even so, the neocons have decided to support the rebels, for reasons that are completely opaque and probably nonexistent. Having decided to support the rebels, neocons then had to invent a policy-sounding justification. Aha! We'll say the rebels are Young Democracies, just like the Young Democracies that we so generously provided for the miserable surviving residents of Iraq and Afghanistan. And Young Democracies must be pro-Israel and pro-fag and pro-bullbitch and pro-abortion because we neocons are Jews and fags and bullbitches and abortionists. Trivially obvious.

Well, since today is Hundred Flowers Madame Mao Glorious Official Wyyyyyyyyymmmmyyyyyyyynsssessess Day or something, the DC neocons picked out some genuinely heroic females among the rebels, and tried to celebr.....

WHOOPSIE! When we look closely at these heroic women, we find that they are ACTUAL HEROES, which means we can't possibly celebrate them. Actual heroes in a Muslim revolution hate America and Israel, because the main point of the revolution in Muslim countries was to get rid of American and Israeli influence. Oh dear, it's just soooooooo confusing. Math class is hard for Western neocon wyyyyyyyyymmmyyyyyyyynssses.

Math isn't hard for women in Muslim countries, who have a perfect mastery of real logic. I salute them without reservation.
