Erstwhile Lebanese intifada leader Walid Jumblatt, quoted in the Washington Post:
“It’s strange for me to say it, but this process of change has started because of the American invasion of Iraq,” explains Jumblatt. “I was cynical about Iraq. But when I saw the Iraqi people voting three weeks ago, 8 million of them, it was the start of a new Arab world.” Jumblatt says this spark of democratic revolt is spreading. “The Syrian people, the Egyptian people, all say that something is changing. The Berlin Wall has fallen. We can see it.”

Fifty years from now when the only thing the UN meets for is an annual chorus of “Kumba-ya” and all the guns (who uses a sword anymore?) have been beaten into electric guitars (who uses a plowshare anymore?), the Garofaloids will still be claiming it’s all illegitimate because BUSH DIDN’T TAKE HIS AIR NATIONAL GUARD PHYSICAL WHEN DAN RATHER ORDERED HIM TO! AND … AND HALLIBURTON! AND JEFF GANNON’S GAY PORN COCK!
(And no, I didn’t leave out “Bush = Hitler.” Who else but Hitler would refuse a direct order from Dan Rather?)
How long before Walid Jumblatt is Gannonized?
