Libyan National Unity Will Be Defended ‘With Force If Needed’
7th March 2012
My, what a surprise. Aren’t you surprised? I’m sure surprised.
Perhaps if we encourage Muslims to fight each other, which they appear so willing to do, they will leave us alone.
We can hope.

That’s the problem with breaking up a totalitarian state: nobody knows at what fractal level it should or will stop. Witness the end of the Soviet Union: Russia was quite happy to throw off the shackles of the Soviet empire, but turned around to crush Chechnya, who foolishly thought that the precedent was established for them to throw off the shackles of Russia.
What goes around, comes around.

All Muslim countries are totalitarian states, it’s just a question of which totalitarians are in charge. Now, in North Africa, we’re seeing the political totalitarians being replaced by the religious totalitarians. I don’t have a problem with totalitarian states fragmenting, because the smaller they are, the less power they have to annoy their neighbors.
