Words like violence
Break the silence
--Depeche Mode
Why is the left unable to talk about Lebanon? Naomi Klein bleats about democracy every two minutes, but when the revolution comes, she's nowhere to be found. Ditto with Chomsky. Indymedia loves people demonstrating...but only if they are for some socialist cause, I guess. I really thought that the Nation would have something interesting to say, but no. Nothing.
Pathetic.

Because I don't know anything about Lebanon. And unlike the right whingers, I refrain from blogging about the subjects I don't know anything about.
Oh that's not true-you always make uninformed comments about the economy, and good on ya for doing so--> have an opinion and go hard!
As for your silence on Lebanon, I'm not sure it's because you 'don't know anything about it'. You know its kicking out an oppressor, but hate to admit what ignited the uprising.
But hey! You're the same guy who said 'So what?' when Iraq had an election, so I guess I shouldn't be too surprised.
