I remember listening to an ISO (defunct US Cliffite-Trot party) talk about Libya during the crisis. Main speaker was some America college student of Libyan background. She admitted that her parents were recipients of generous scholarship to study in the US by the Gaddafi Government, but hey Gaddafi was a dictator and had to go! .... Sadly Cliffite Trots are not alone in turning into State Department mouthpieces whenever the US starts a regime change adventure. The very popular DemocracyNow! was very pro regime change and they repeated the same parroting with Syria.

Arrivists middle class surely love to burn the ladder they used to get there. Everywhere is the same.
