The International Language of the Egyptian Revolution: Please move to the Recycle Bin.
There needs to be “insert your leader here” in place of “Mybark”. Acceptable formats to recycle: President, CEO, rabbi, mullah, priest, your boss, your oligarch, etc. This is the international language of freedom that each and every human being understands without translation. In related news, Google Exec Wael Ghonim, who was beaten in prison, kissed his guards upon release, including the soldiers who beat him. He explains:
“And I forgive them, I have to say. I forgive them, because one thing is that they were convinced that I was harming the country,” he said. “I’m sort of like a traitor, I’m destabilizing the country. “So when he hits me, he doesn’t hit me because … he’s a bad guy. He’s hitting me because he thinks he’s a good guy,” he said.
The incredible thing is that every beating, killing and your regular daily damage that most people commit as often as they eat breakfast is always because “he thinks he’s a good guy”, that’s the secret of every ideology or religion on the face of the earth.

yes. this reminds me of the line in that chris hedges article you posted about…
“Arendt also quotes an interview with a camp official at Majdanek. The camp official concedes that he has assisted in the gassing and burying of people alive. But when he is asked, “Do you know the Russians will hang you?” he bursts into tears. “Why should they? What have I done?”
