Tom Toles drawing for the Washington Post put it quite
succinctly.
Our Middle
East Policy is disintegrating in the wake of the so-called “Arab Spring.” We hope to see a form of democratic
government develop and replace the dictatorships and religious dictatorships
that previously controlled the Arab states.
The outcome,
so far, has been three or four more or less religious takeovers, scattered and
lost anti-aircraft weaponry, loss of Soviet era chem weapons, and a Syrian
civil war lasting nearly two years.
To that
report, add four diplomats and ancillary staff killed by mob action in a
planned assault upon several embassies and consulates. The supposed trigger this time is a 13-minute
you-tube hatemongering session that mentions the name Mohammed in a fashion
that is somehow insulting to a fictitious prophet.
The actual
culprit remains to be identified. Mike
believes it to be the action of radical Muslims bent upon conquering the
U.S. I park my camel outside the tent of
teavangelists who want to foment a new crusade, growing wealthy in the
process. Your guess may point to another
source.
