When President Obama gives his major Middle East speech on Thursday, he's expected to announce American cash support for the revolutionary Arab states. The buzzwords are likely to be about supporting democracy. But, as Gayane Chichakyan reports, not everyone's fight for freedom fits Washington's plan.

1. Take a look at this!

I created a DU account today for a couple reasons. (Namely I'm tired of endless Palin and Trump jokes, on my Facebook account)

I was going to post this article here, but I have not made enough responses to post yet. =P I'll get there.

On the other hand, this is an appropriate place to paste this link. Read while gape jawed.

4. K&R

"If we conclude for example, that the street is going to win, there's no point in butting our heads against the wall in order to save a government that's doomed." http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=80GJ30yvLzI&feature=player_detailpage#t=90s">~Zbigniew Brzezinski

(Translation: America will back any asshole dictator that serves our interest no matter how many of their people they torture, maim or kill. And no matter how much our support widens the disparity between the haves and the have-nots -- we don't give a fuck -- it's all about us, capice? And we will drop their asses like a hot potato the minute they become a liability and/or make the wrong people's stock prices fall. This is what it means to be "useful" to America and the West. Otherwise go fuck yourself.)
