This article in the NYtimes illustrates my point:

http://www.nytimes.com/2006/08/01/world/asia/01indo.html?hp&ex=1154491200&en=37c2f26e0c5aa539&ei=5094&partner=homepage

The FIRST province in indonesia to put Shariah Law was Banda Aceh. They didn't come about because of some global conspiracy they didn't do it to do the bidding of the some grand islamic mind, they did it because Hobbs was right and in the absence of any social order PEOPLE become animals. It was a response to LOCAL conditions. When this occured in Afghanistan it was appalling because there was no way to allow the people to rise up from 'nearly as bad' oppression... But Afghanistan is isolated in a way indonesia isn't. My sister used to go to Banda Aceh, for God's sake, and she's a Yuppy's yuppy. As some point in the future, Shariah Law will fall if only because there will exist an alternative that provides a better future. Not all people are fanatical robots to their faith, only a few. When the majority sees a better way, they will rise up, it is inevitable.

Great. No need to do anything then. I guess the same thing should apply to all the political issues you care about. Which makes me wonder why you care enough to post four posts in the row. Things will end up the way you want. It's inevitable. Granted, you may not be alive to see it, but what does that matter?

Your faith in history to automatically and inevitably solve all problems is touching, but extremely misguided. I sincerely hope you haven't used that line on any Rwandans. They might just punch you.
