I didn't notice who the author of this post was when I first began reading. I was on the verge of leaving a comment praising the writer for the most coherent, levelheaded argument since I've been reading [Blog Name]...
...but then [Name] decided to go off the deep end and start accusing the usual suspects - America, Israel and a newcomer to Arab scapegoat-itis, Ukraine.
[Name]!!! You're so tantalizingly close to becoming a rational human being, an intelligent one at that, able to evaluate information and draw reasonable conclusions.
But then something kicks in; something deep inside you that forces you to question your logic and undermine your reason... and inevitably, inexplicably, unreasonably and unjustifiably blame it all on America and Israel.
With one hand, you profess a desire to rise above the "Arab street", and the backwardness of its mythos. With the other, you pull yourself right back into the very swamp you intellectually reject and detest.
I am certain you've recognized this pattern in yourself. You are too impregnated with Western deconstructionalism to have not done so.
