Get a Grip, Posties
The National Post's front page is agog at and in a tizzy over what it calls the "FRUITS OF THE ARAB SPRING." Said fruits include the election in Tunisia ('We'll show the world how we can build a real democracy'--
a report by New York Times scribbler David D. Kirkpatrick
) and the dawn of a new day in a Gaddafi-less Libya (
'Raise your head high. You are a free Libyan'
).
Much as I hate to poop on the revelry, I think it behoves us to reserve judgement until we see exactly what sort of "fruits" the Arabs are cultivating. In Tunisia, for example,
they seem to be of Islamist variety
, while in Libya,
ditto
.
