About as much as Yasser Arafat. Maybe a little more, but both were terrorists.
Would it be better for the West if "Arab Spring" had never happened?

Probably better for the West, yes, has the Arab spring ended though? Or at least is it clearly better or worse? (is my question)
As far as I can see, it turned into the Syrian civil war, which now includes Iraq. Total disaster.
Will presidential candidate Lindsey Graham's plan to put 10,000 American troops in Iraq gain popular traction (whatever happens to his candidacy)?
I doubt it, people are sick of that war, and besides, we won already so there's no need to go back.

If you could only eat one animal for the rest of your life, but you received an unlimited supply of any and every piece of the animal you wanted, which animal would you choose?
Oh I dunno. Maybe Bison. It worked for the Plains Indians.
Same question.
I'll eat sockeye salmon forever please.
Fish or fowl?
Oh good answer, though I'll have more leftovers.
Well, fish is better, but old fish is as bad as new fish is good, so fowl.
Should the West hold its nose at most of Putin's skullduggery and just work with him to defeat Islamic extremism?
There's nothing the West can do about Putin short of starting a nuclear war so yes.
How would a bottom up revolution play out today if it took place in a nation with nuclear weapons (China, Russia)?
It would play out differently in any given country. The one to watch (and worry about) obviously is Pakistan.
Would you rather have known about ISIS before last year, or to have missed all those news reports about childhood obesity, surprise veteran homecomings, and kids with leukemia rescuing puppies from drain pipes?
My being obese isn't likely to start WWIII. ISIS, however... Nuff Said!
Does FOX News seem to have stopped even pretending to present the news?
I haven't watched them for so long I don't know what they're pretending these days.
In Taiwan, Obama is frequently compared to a bat, apparently because of his big ears. What animal do you associate with George W. Bush (based only on physiognomy)?
Chimp of course.
Should criticism of Israel policy be correctly treated as what it really is, anti Semitic hate speech? (I'm not kidding, this is a Canadian government proposal)
Not unless there's jail time. The last thing we need is another empty gesture.
If I say there was an Armenian holocaust as I board a train in Istanbul, change my mind on the journey, and state that there was no Armenian holocaust when I disembark in Paris, can I be jailed in both countries at once?
Sure, can, should and if i may say, must be jailed both times. King Soloman would know just how to sort you out.
Detail your entire beauty regimen, and you have to comment even if it's something as banal as putting on moisturizer once a week.
As your confessor, Clopin, I'm pleased to note your spiritual growth.Quote:
