Counterproductive

Vox Popoli
VERBATIM POST

After Qaddafi is shot dead, Mubarak is sentenced to life in prison:
For nearly 30 years he was the pharaoh-like ruler whose word was law; the plunderer of billions of pounds of government money and controller of Egypt’s brutal police state. On Saturday night Hosni Mubarak began a new life as a convicted murderer. A broken and humiliated man of 84, he was flown by helicopter to Torah prison - where many of his enemies had once been jailed - just two hours after hearing a Cairo judge pronounce a life sentence on him for complicity in the murder of 850 protesters.
Well, if Western leaders are looking to make sure that Assad and the remaining Arab dictators fight to the very last drop of their people's blood, they're certainly going about it the right way. If you want to get rid of a rat, always leave him a safe out.
