Tahrir al-Wasilah by the Ayatollah Khomeini & Misc. Moslem Revo-Evolutions

With the changes across the Arab world, or rather the Islamic world, the meaning of 'Tahrir' or 'liberation' in Arabic draws our interest. Of course we find the Ayatollah Khomeini's book 'On Sex with Children and Animals' right off. The Ayatollah issued his Moslem clarification of the right jurisprudence within Islamic law. We find that if a man has sex with his donkey, he must sell the donkey in a village that his not his own. For Iranians this sort of expert clerical opinion may be invaluable.

Finding that the Ayatollah's book has many different names, one of which is named Tahrir-al-Wasilah was just the tip of the iceberg of the wide use of the word 'liberation' or Tahrir throughout the Arab world.

It is possible that U.S. foreign policy should not become one of chasing about after incipient Moslem youth revolutions inspired by twitter and cell phone use. To radicalize global politics simply because technology allows unlimited social organizations rather quickly if not instantly may have unreasoned, even dire consequences in the future.

Yes we can empathize with bad governments and social oppression abroad and in the United States, Mexico and wherever. How can we accept 40,000 dead Mexicans killed in drug wars south of the border as a normal or acceptable sort of thing? Why should we suppose that accepting political turmoil and chaos as progressive paradigms will eventuate the confluence of peace and prosperity when we are aware that stable social evolutions allow better transitions toward a real world ecologically rational political economy?
Better objective systems for removing undemocratic political leadership should be innovated and brought into effect instead of encouraging or appearing to encourage proverbial political change a mile wide and an inch deep. There are numerous social challenges in existence today that will not be solved even with the victory of a happy political change. Human economic use of the global ecosphere is devastating, and the fundamental principles of capitalism are centuries old and in need of evolution in-themselves.
