Arab Spring, American Autumn

Just a quick observation or two.

I hope the nonviolent results of the Arab Spring are similarly achieved in the American Autumn. I don't care whether we overthrow the government unless, of course you see the government as I do - they are not we the people, the congress, the president, the courts or the thousands of legislative bodies. They are Goldman Sachs, Citigroup, and the like.

After 15 Saudi Arabian nationals hijacked planes and attacked America, the American conservatives blamed it on and subsequently invaded and occupied Iraq. For the record, Iraq is a Persian nation, not Arab. Not long afterward, when the monied elite hijacked the economy and hoarded a sixth of it, the American conservatives blamed it on the working poor, the unions and public employees. They're not bad people, they just have bad aim.
