Not supporting their ideology is not going to be an option. When God is whispering in your ear, dissident voices can be very distracting - and must be quickly silenced. Very few Russians in 1917 were Bolsheviks. But the Bolsheviks knew what they were and were very focused. I don't think there exists in the Middle East any kind of counter-force. ( as an aside, I really wouldn't want to be Assad right now - the Alawis have been in the MB gunsights for a looong time )


Charles Hankey

Though a good deal is too strange to be believed, nothing is too strange to have happened.
- Thomas Hardy

Half the harm that is done in this world is due to people who want to feel important. They don't mean to do harm-- but the harm does not interest them. Or they do not see it, or they justify it because they are absorbed in the endless struggle to think well of themselves.

-- T. S. Eliot
Democracy is two wolves and a sheep voting on what to have for lunch.
Liberty is a well-armed sheep contesting the vote.
- Ben Franklin

Pardon him, Theodotus. He is a barbarian, and thinks that the customs of his tribe and island are the laws of nature.
