The World Must Support The Arab Spring, Especially in Syria (Arabic Translation at End) and the Continuing Struggle for Freedom in Egypt and Libya (and eventually in Iran).


America has some choices confronting it, but fortunately, those choices lend themselves to great opportunity. Historically, America's choices have led to the opportunity to advance her strategic, economic, and/or moral agendas. To often, we have had to choose between those strategic, economic and moral agenda. Also, to often, we have made the wrong choice. Whether through direct military intervention in such countries as Vietnam and Iraq or by backing dictators such as the Shah of Iran, Pinochet in Argentina, or even Batista in Cuba (the list is endless), we have had to make hard choices between our economic, political and strategic interests. Often, such as in backing the Shah or Iran or the Mujahideen in Afghanistan, we have in fact advanced none of our interests and done damage to them all.
