The Prince of Sleaze speaks about the Arab uprisings

"In the Middle East itself, the revolutionary experience of the mid-20th century has been equally unedifying, to say the least. The overthrow of the Egyptian monarchy in 1952 ushered in nearly 60 years of a military rule that arrested the growth of promising political institutions and that flagrantly disregarded civil rights...The results were essentially the same after the toppling of regimes in Iraq, Libya, Sudan, Syria and Yemen. So capricious were the new revolutionary regimes in their arbitrary rule that many of their subjects came to pine for their colonial masters, who at least observed a modicum of fidelity to cherished Western political precepts and hallowed legal norms."  WLAH Saudi Prince: you dare speak about the disregard of civil rights? WLAH what country do you inhabit? Are you a Prince in Sweden? Are you not a prince in the most repressive and most intolerant regime in the world, and you are audacious enough to pontificate about the Arab uprisings? It is not your fault but the fault of those in Western media who prostrate before your oil money and take you seriously.  You are in a position to critique the regime of Nasser--or any other regime on earth?  You are not in a position to even criticize the Albanian dictatorship of Anver Hoxa.  (thanks Ahmet)
