Reading outside the mainstream
An interesting observation from within a subpar editorial on Al Jazeera.
Bush: But... Freedom. Freedom.
The fact that the west is arming the un-elected regime in Saudi Arabia against the elected regime in Iran serves as an emphatic indicator of American wishes in the region. ....
On one hand we have Iranians, Hamas, and Hezbollah, all of whom were brought to power through an electoral process to greater or lesser degrees. In the case of Hamas and the regime of Ahmadinejad in Iran, we have majority elected governments, in the case of Hezbollah we have a popular organisation elected as a part of a government.
On the other hand we have Egypt, Jordan and Saudi Arabia, a couple of un-elected kings and an unelected ruler standing side by side with the United States, the supposed champion of democracy in the region, acquiescing in Israeli aggression.
Bush: But... Freedom. Freedom.

How I would like to see this observation brought up in American media. I wonder how an answer would be 'spun'?

I agree.
I'm would think it would be spun as "violent" rogue state Iran, nuclear program" versus "the improving democratic efforts" of "our allies in the war on terror" the Saudis and Egyptians.
I definitely think we should add that to the list of questions for Bush's next press conference.

Sometimes I think we would be better off going back to the clsoed smoke filled back rooms to hash out our political negotiations.
