How Covert Agents Infiltrate the Internet to Manipulate, Deceive, and Destroy Reputations

87. Funny you ignored everything and stuck to the talking point that is supposed to justify

the toppling of a democratically elected government rather than use the democratic process to do so.

Bush lied this country into a deadly, brutal war, his criminal policies harmed this country for decades and cost the lives of untold numbers of human beings. Not to mention the financial cost, the profiteering, the corruption. Yet, not one person suggested a coup d'etat rather than using the democratic process.

Why? That should be easy to answer for anyone who understands the difference between a civilized society and a violent, destabilized society where mob rule reigns. Because intelligent people are able to look beyond the immediate problems, bad as they may be, and understand that they will be far, far worse if democracy itself also becomes a victim of the anger, no matter how justified it may be.

It's interesting too that while you support this for other nations, you trashed a peaceful movement here USING the Democratic process to register the people's disagreement with policies and corruption and damaging policies.

I can only imagine your outrage if here, like the Ukraine which you support, protesters had emulated the Ukraine protesters and driven Bush's government from power eg. Would you have been in any way supportive of driving Bush out of office eg, in the same way? No, because you live here. I don't need to live in the Ukraine to know that what has just happened there will have dire consequences for them for decades to come.

An election would have taken care of their issues, IF the majority of the people actually agreed with the protesters. That we will never know.

Now as many of us expected, although I thought they might wait awhile, the IMF and the The World Bank have already moved in. The Ukraine can look forward to the same future as Greece, huge unemployment, the sale of their precious assets to 'pay their debts to the IMF'. Need I go on, every Progressive Democrat KNOWS what being under the thumb of the IMF means to a nation.

But they made their choice, many will come to regret it, after it is too late. Coups don't occur without consequences, most often not the kind expected in the heat of the moment.
