When's the last time you heard of a Western sponsored "coup" where..... [View all]
....
*calls for change initially came in the form of mass, street level protests based on demonstrable corruption in the government,
*where no military were involved in removing the leader from power,
*where the leader was not arrested or executed but rather voluntarily left the country on his own accord,
*where the legislative body continued to legislate and actually bothered to vote to remove the abdicating leader from power,
*where an interim leadership based on the constitutional laws of succession took over and explicitly stated that it was merely an interim power,
*where new elections were scheduled to take place in just a matter of several months after the change in power, and....
* where the not-so-unforeseen consequence of the change in power was that the country's more powerful neighbor then chooses invade a portion of the country it sees as valuable to its own interest, thus creating the potential to destabilize the new government, and creating a situation that is clearly to the disadvantage--and definitely not to the advantage--of Western interests?
What kind of lousy Western-sponsored coup is that?
Some of you need to seriously lay off of the tinfoil.
