Re: It was all supposed to be so different
This is a confused post. I don't think there have been any posts that were 'pro Islamist'; and I doubt that those of us who have been unable to count how many millions of your $$ have been given to Egypt would consider that a 'short straw' -although in relation to the $$$ you spent on Iraq and Afghanistan maybe it is. Mubarak was not thrown under a bus by anyone, he lost the respect of Egyptians years ago and has lost power, and I assume you don't weep to see the end of the career of a multi-millionaire who used to get 99% of the 'vote' in Egyptian election...Obama like any other head of state had no choice in deaaling with him, anymore than he can -or should- choose the President of Egypt.
not even a mention of Muslim extremists was permitted when Major Hassan gunned down so many of our soldiers while uttering "Allah is great". No Muslim was to be offended.
How often have you praised the Muslims who serve and die in the US armed forces? How many extremists of any kind are serving under your flag?
Your Arab Spring has turned to an Autumn of hate and murder and little has changed...
The 'Arab Spring' began in December 2010, so it has been going for 21 months. I wonder when you or anyone else thinks the American Revolution began. If it was the Townshend Revenue Act of June 1767 that led to the colonial assemblies condemning taxation without representation, then 21 months doesn't even get you to the first stationing of British troops in Boston to deal with unrest there. If you start with the incidents at Lexington and Concord in April 1775 you would find after 21 months you had a Declaration of Independence, and a war on your hands....people being killed by forces of the crown, revolutionaries getting external help from France...
Would a President Romney today be sending US troops BACK into the Middle East? To do what? Where? At what cost?

Re: It was all supposed to be so different
This is breath-taking, even for you. Maj. Nidal Hassan's attack is pretty much the reason the U.S. currently conducting a drone war in Yemen.
"...not a mention of Muslim extremists..."???? Really? Have you ever heard of the former Anwar al-Awlaki? Were you unconscious for the year or so in between Abdulmutallab's attempted attack and the drone strike that put al-Awlaki down? Because he was kind of in the newspaper a lot.
Of course, you would have to be literate to know that.
