    I can think of 50 ways for him to resign

    Just slip out the back, Jack
    Make a new plan, Stan

    “just get yourself free?”

    Sigh. He can, if he wishes. But what about the rest of his country? (And I say ‘his’ because he’s a tyrant, and it’s HIS, still.)

    And yes, I know all the arguments about why the Mideast will never be free. But I still hope.

    Yeah, as I said, I know all the arguments. “Me against my brother, My brothers and me against my cousins, then my cousins and me against strangers”
    Tribal societies. But there are those in them that have learned other ways. Maybe, just maybe, they can figure out a middle path.
