| #1 It needs to be stipulated that "liberal" in ME/Arab context means "classical liberal". "[Public] opinion likes simplification. Populism, which is becoming increasingly widespread, allows [public opinion] to avoid confronting the complexity of situations, and ignores those forces that entangle a coalition that should actually have gone home long ago [if that were not the case]. "So, 'U.S. go home.' It's so simple! And [saying this] makes one 'with the weak and against the strong' - just like in the good old days of the Vietnam War, of non-alignment, of anti-imperialism, of balcony revolutionaries, of good music, and of hippies." |
