I object to their caricatural and oversimplistic presentation. For
instance, Lybia used to have an average income per capita much higher,
and distributed in a much flatter fashion, than what we find in many
countries which you probably would consider as happy democracies. And
the idea that the rebellion there is the fruit of a sudden demand for
"bread and freedom" would sounds incredibly naive to many ears this
side of the pond.
