No Orange in sight...

Gib's posts on Belarus and Zimbabwe are well worth reading. It is unfortunate that despite great strides in the past few years, the general global movement towards democracy is stalled in some places. I am convinced that eventually such places will become intolerable to the civilized world and will change or be forced to change. In the meantime, too many are willing to profit from the totalitarians and the people continue to suffer under their boot. I wish sometimes we could be all things to all people. We can't, and we probably shouldn't even if we could, but the suffering under tyranny is difficult to watch dispassionately.
