If Star Wars Taught Me Anything....

Okay. I get that all the trouble in the middle east is bad, made more so evident by gas prices perpetually rising. I drive a truck, while it's not a douche-bag 4x4 like most guys seem to own, and adding the fact I don't drive it like a douche-bag, it still costs a pretty penny to fill.  That's fine, I get it.

.

However, as far as all these idiots running into the streets in protest of their government, I don't understand the point of all that shit. They're the people who allow these f*ckers into power, then when they disagree with their politics, they take to the streets and "peacefully protest", by smashing store fronts, looting, and physically bashing all those around them. How the f*ck is all that is considered "peaceful"?  Once more, I gotta say, I just don't understand.

.

The nation's armies storm the streets in an effort to calm the crowd and protect those being victimized, lashing back at the protesters, and sometimes necessitating elevated enforcement strategies, which do include warfare tactics. This, I do understand.  These people complain about it.  They brought in on themselves, then accuse the government of unfair practices.  World news affiliates cover the demonstrations, often taking the side against government tyrrany.  The world alike watch in disbelief, sickened by the lethal force taken, yet watch in silence, too afraid to speak up themselves, whether their support is for or against.  No steps are taken towards rectification of the alleged atrocities. That shit, I do not understand.

.

Bad people die. That's a fact of life. Bad people take to the streets, raise their fists against the establishment, fight and smash those around them, and are killed in the defense of those being assaulted, justifiably too, in my opinion. I do understand that. If someone had the balls big enough to attack my friends or my family, smashing, snatching and grabbing their possessions.  Maliciously assaulting them, being shot in the street, would be getting off pretty f*ckin' lucky..

.

I don't want to sound like an egomaniacal tyrant, but so far I haven't heard any news reports about Libyan armies invading the homes of innocents, dragging them out and putting bullets in their heads. Just the lunatics assembling out in the streets.

.

Besides which, it's f*cking Libya! Not the safest place in the world to begin with. I don't hear a lot of propaganda about how it's every bit as beautiful to visit as the Mayan Riviera. What the f*ck did you think was going to happen? If Star Wars has taught me anything in life, it is that angry sand people should be punished! Nobody complained when the Imperial Storm Troopers killed them off, so why should anyone shed a tear when they're being killed now?
