#2 Paul2: He may be a prince, but he is scared. He is using the same old rhetoric that was used by European royals against the democratic revolution. They kept a lid on things until 1848, when all hell broke loose.

In a single year, there were democratic revolutions in: Hungary, Prague, Switzerland (peaceful), France, Denmark, Brazil, Hapsburg Empire, Poland, Lithuania, the German states, the Italian states, Schleswig, and Wallachia.

Imagine such a thing in the Mideast today.

#3 Turnabout is fair play. How about this:

A curse on anyone who seeks to institute Saudi Wahhabi-ism on western democracies?

Let's just go our separate ways, ok. Conflict is such bad Karma. Heh.

Quite true, Anonymoose. And by 1865, how many of those revolutions were considered permanent? An awful lot of the revolutionaries emigrated afterward, for some reason. That's why one part of Cincinnati is called "Over the Rhine".
