Hey everybody! Remember what happened last time America tried to eliminate an international boogyman?

Boy, that shit was fun huh?

Tried? Pretty sure it happened. In fact, the U.S. (along with other U.N. and NATO countries, lest we forget,) have foiled lots of plots and eliminated quite a few major international terrorists and assorted totalitarian maniacs. Now...I'm obviously not saying these operations were all well-planned out or executed or even justified in each instance, but your view seems like a pretty simple one. I mean, is it a bad thing that Hussein, bin Laden, and Gaddafi are all out of the picture? Seems like an improvement to me. I think it'll be quite a few years down the line before we have enough perspective to see what all the results and consequences are. Maybe then I'll be willing to speak in terms of total success and failure. But probably not, because that's not how the world works.

And Akira - I totally agree with you about the social media "activism." It's really just clicking a button to feel good about yourself. If people actually want to help the first thing they should do is read a lot and either go to these places or speak to people who've been to or come from these places. I have reporter friends that have worked in Iraq, Afghanistan, North Korea, Iran, Pakistan, and Egypt. I also have friends that have fought in the first two places as well as in Bosnia. Their stories are more illuminating than any viral video. People should look into organizations that are doing something and see how they can help. Might I recommend the Revolutionary Association of the Women of Afghanistan? I've given them money to buy digital cameras (money can, in fact, help sometimes,) which they hide under their burkas to document atrocities and crimes committed by both the Taliban and the allied forces.

Anyway, the point is, being educated about an issue is a whole lot better than being cynical about everything and Touchboy is the most underrated chip tune artist, in my opinion.
