Self-immolation — it seemed like a good idea at the tine.

Plus the entire leftwing and GOPe press. Even when the Muslims raped one of their reporters, they pretty much ignored the story, or blamed it on . . . Bush.

Many of us who survived the 60's and 70's have similar thought processes ...
ESPECIALLY we in FR
Our own particular brand of f######upness (EVERYone has their brand) is seasoned with real life scenarios of memory
Akin to We Were Soldiers Once is .. We were Young Once ...
(substitution of "idealistic" for "young" OK)

What a sad piece. Still there were some very faint glimmers of hope in it.

“”It was all a mistake,”...”I didn’t know what would happen. I no longer believe in the revolution.””
Sounds like something an American university student (who learned something about reality) would say.

"We were hopeful, but we Tunisians are not accustomed to freedom," says Kaliya. Surviving heroes can become a burden when they criticize the heirs of a revolution.
Much better to have a martyr than one who survives.

19 Do not fret because of evildoers Or be envious of the wicked;
20 For there will be no future for the evil man; The lamp of the wicked will be put out.
21 My son, fear the LORD and the king; Do not associate with those who are given to change,
22 For their calamity will rise suddenly, And who knows the ruin that comes from both of them?
Proverbs 24

Yeah...no place for him now. Still, he was doing it out of personal desperation mostly...not for some bigger cause.
To: TroutStalker
This goofball didn’t even have an agenda, a cause, or a plan! He was mad that he got beat up, so he lit himself on fire! I’ll bet that showed those bullies!

And what for? "It was all a mistake," says Kaliya. "I didn't know what would happen. I no longer believe in the revolution." Easy to have Utopian dreams... ask any Bernie Sander's follower...

Obama embracing the “Arab Spring” has ensured that the middle east will be completely unstable and run by wahabbists for generations....
