Balatarin Users Jubiliant For Libyans

Almost as soon as news of Qaddafi’s arrest was broken to the world yesterday, there was a stream of articles and links posted on Balatarin, generating comments, most of them congratulating Libyans on having gotten rid of their cruel dictator of 40 years, while warning the Iranian dictator to start reforms right away or await a similar, inevitable fate.  Here are some of the reactions from the Balatarin community:

“Mr. Khamenei!  Did you see Qaddafi’s ugly face? Do you remember Saddam Hussein’s image? You are on the same road to nowhere!”

“Mr. Qaddafi! Where are your thousands of supporters of just eight months ago?” (Hinting ironically at Khamenei and his Basij paramilitary supporters who show up to public events.)

“Qaddafi was taken out of this hole; the Libyans pulled Qaddafi out of a hole, just like [Iraqis did] Saddam Hussein!”

“This is the fate of a man who called his own people “rats” while interestingly, in the end, he had no place to hide from his very own people but a rat’s hole.!  Mr Khamenei! Do you remember the time you called us Iranians ‘microbes?’“

A point of interest may be that the most popular comment on Balatarin today is the one wishing good luck to Syrians in their fight against Bashar Assad, the Syrian dictator:

“Tomorrow is certainly going to be a totally different Friday in Syria. Let’s get united and go to remove the next monster in power.”

Do you really think Syria will be the next domino to fall in the Middle East? Most of our users think, or at least hope so!
