As perverse as it may seem, when people the world over get to actually choose between tyranny and freedom they seem to choose freedom every time.

There is a line we cross when we go from "I will believe it when I see it" to "I will see it when I believe it".

Yes, all we can really do is watch and wait, and hope that we get West Germany rather than Uganda. I know I've said this before, but it would honestly give me great pleasure to say in 2015, or even 2009 'I was wrong'.
