"Pop revolutions" are all right -- as long as they happen somewhere else!

It's not just a place it's a state of mind....
But seriously, this is simply the other side of the coin from the unrealistic nationalism of many on the right. When the idea that we "liberated Iraq" dries up, it's natural for people to adopt the directly opposite narrative. It's a hell of alot easier than admitting that the real world is a messy place.
