Re: WHAT SHOULD BE DONE? (none / 0)

You think that whoever got in power wouldn't want to sell us oil? Why?

Re: WHAT SHOULD BE DONE? (none / 0)

I don't understand what this has to do with your earlier comment.

You wrote: We should stop supporting the undemocratic regimes.

I responded that we should not drive our cars then. Then we would withdraw our support of these regimes.

What do you suggest? How do you want to stop supporting those regimes?

Stop development aid for Egypt and others? Sure. What else?

Re: WHAT SHOULD BE DONE? (4.00 / 3)

Stop development aid. Stop propping up unpopular regimes. Stop treating Saudi princes as respectable world leaders. Speak against their human rights abuses and their suppression and their outrages. Let their governments fall. And above all, stop bloody interfering.
