Yesterday Obama was worried about violence in Beirut, Today he is confident in Mubarak’s violence

Posted on January 29, 2011 by Natalia Sancha

Yesterday Obama was worried about violence in Beirut, Today he is confident in Mubarak’s one. Enough!

Enough of bullshit, of double standard of empty talks on “Democracy” with capital letters. Shame on American Government, shame on Obama and shame on Mubarak. At my eyes they are today the same thing, the dictator and the ones that support them making it possible.

Here and interesting comment of As’ad AbuKhalil in Angry Arab News Service.
