This is why I can't get all bumped up and excited about liberating cesspools of violence like Iraq, Iran, Pakistan, Afghanistan, and so on. Even the "moderate" folks can't seem to hold a protest or demonstration without chanting for the death, dismemberment, torture, or great harm to their opponents.
I mean really, I thought the pro-government rampaging rhino George W. Bush administration was enormously damaging to this country, and with our current Spender-in-Chief I'm eyeing my assets and long-term investments very anxiously. I have participated in a few third-party organizations and observed a few protests, but I wouldn't dream of taking to the streets and calling for "Death to the Enemies of Fiscal Conservatism!" or "Death to the Enemies of Being Able to Screw Who You Want and Do Stupid Drugs and Say The F Word on TV!"
You can't "liberate" people whose chief method of social justice consistently involves lynch mobs and celebratory beheadings without due process of law.
