Quote for the Day - Revisionist History Edition

Posted on 10:45 by hony
"What has been truly thrilling about the Arab Spring - as with the Green Revolution in Iran - was the irrelevance of America and the West." - Andrew Sullivan

Sullivan is clearly forgetting the hundreds of times since as far back as 1953 that America has aided tyrants in Arab countries (usually under the auspices of their internally run anti-terrorism programs). America and the West are not irrelevant in the Arab Spring...we have been a roadblock to it.
