Scotland let the Lockerbie Bomber free in exchange for a sweetheart deal between Libya and British Petroleum.
I'm normally not a big fan of the grotesque videos one sees online, however watching Quadafi get a shiv shoved up his ass was quite satisfying. Iran's dictator should take note, and also of Hussein.
As far as Arabs go, well they basically have shit in their own bed, and now they have to live in it. They made the decision 800 years ago to choose faith in the Koran over Science, lost their places as the most ascendant human civilization and have been stuck in their own feces ever since. No sign of overthrowing the House of Saud, nor any other arabic royalty. No sign of a widespread belief in human rights, individual rights, nor where they come from. Still for the most part illiterate. Still dependent on foreign skilled labor to get anything accomplished. Still pretty much the same as they've been for 800 years. All that oil lies in that dirt, and all they have to do is passively allow someone else to pump it out for them, and they collect a check.
Still can't manage to create anything of significance. Still focused on the same backwards-ass conflicts they've always had. Blasting an illiterate populace with propaganda through the community loudspeakers 5 times a day, much like North Korea.
So, on a human level, yeah too bad. Sucks to be them. Glad I'm not them. To bad they wake up each morning and choose to be who and what they are, because that means they have to incur the natural consequences of that decision. And no, it's not worth "boots on the ground", however we've got plenty of surplus 500 lb. bombs lying around. Originally they were intended for the Soviets, but eventually they came around and so the munitions are no longer needed for that purpose.
