It's Not George W"s Or Obama's Prize.

Boy, how about the changes taking place in Tunisia and maybe even in Egypt and Yemen? These are, or were countries that were not democracies no matter what the leaders of those countries have said for years. They were and are currently corrupt countries that haven't allowed any real democracy. So all of a  sudden there's all sorts of opposition and demonstrations. Tunisia's government fell, it looks like Egypt could go as well and Yemen is heating up. Have you watched or heard the chatter here. There are folks coming forward to congratulate George W Bush for making it possible. There's also Obama supporters claiming it was his speeches and actions causing it. Wouldn't ya just know this would happen? If somebody in outer Mongolia discovered a tree that grew money, politicians would rush to take credit and ask for a share. If they found the fountain of youth in some South American country, the Politicians would be lined up to pass out campaign leaflets proclaiming their candidate made it possible. The truth is, in Tunisia, Egypt and Yemen as well as elsewhere, folks are looking to their own futures. American politicians should keep their hands off. Because, no matter what they try to do, they'll only screw the works up for us and probably for the people they're trying to influence. It's past time for America to stop trying to be the world's cops and saviors. We were never good at anyway. So lets mind our own business and get it straitened out, before we try telling others how to mind theirs. If countries need help, lets let the U.N. handle it. That's what the U.N. was formed to do in the first place. Again, we don't seem to be able to let anyone else do a job that we can mess up more. We just keep thinking we can inflict our thinking on people in completely different circumstances. It's time for us to get a life and allow others to do the same.
