(23,272 posts)despite professing how much they are paying attention.
Amina's action brought the situation in Tunisia into the forefront of discussion (at least on DU but also helped along internationally by FEMEN).
Many DUers like to call it a "stunt" but most activists would love to have as much attention paid to their cause as Amina received.
Anyway, here's my thread demonstrating the REALITY of those who purport to be paying attention... 8 responses only. Nobody's really paying attention to this stuff until it conveniently ties into their personal agenda (like slamming FEMEN or topless protesting or whatever). I can count the number of posters on two hands, like yourself, in LBN who really ARE participating in-depth on discussions about the Arab Spring (cough) situations.
