All of sudden against Arab despots??

Daniel, you said:

"Let's hope that the upheavals of the past two years close down these misguided ideas of reaching Arab-Israeli treaties before real reform has come to the Arabic-speaking countries. (October 14, 2012)"

Daniel,

On the issue of supporting despots over supporting elected leaders (most likely Islamists), you opted to defend the despots like Assad.

With your comment above, you don't seem consistent on the issue of Arab despots.

For this reason, I support the "evil" of elected leaders over unelected despots.
