I see on the news that the enemy is Khadafi. He was oppressing his people because they were revolting, and they were revolting because they wanted freedom. And the people of Egypt just wanted freedom. And the people of Yemen, Syria, Bahrain, and Tunisia just wanted freedom. But is that really the story? Or is it mabye something else?
Food prices are rising around the world. The reason for this is that world currencies are falling. And the reason for that is that banks made bad loans. These rising prices/falling currencies have caused turmoil not just in the Middle East but in Europe too. It's all tied together in a big picture, not individual, unrelated stories in each place. And when food prices rise, of course it's going to hurt most in the places where people were just living subsistence lives anyway. They didn't have extra cash, so when food goes up, all of a sudden they don't have enough bread to eat.
So if that is the real reason behind the protests in the Middle East, and in Europe, and starting in Wisconsin, then maybe it's not really all about "freedom." And maybe the real problem isn't the dictators. Maybe the real problem is an economy that is fucked up all over the world. And maybe the real enemy is the bankers who fucked up the economy.
Now if all that is true, then you have to think about the relationship between problems and solutions. If the real problem is bankers, not dictators, then overthrowing dictators isn't going to solve the problem. The only good solutions to the problem are going to be ones that go directly to the heart of the problem, which seems to be the bankers, not the dictators.
Summary:
Illusory problem: dictators
Illusory solution: overthrow the dictators
Real problem: bankers
Real solution: overthrow the bankers
