Come on. That's going way out on a limb. When you dispose a dictator it leaves a vacuum, and sure enough, other evil forces will try to fill that vacuum, but saying that this is persecution shows that you don't know the true definition of persecution.
Persecution is: Cliterectomies, rape cutting off of hands and assorted other limbs, hanging in the street, gouging out eyes etc. etc. for supporting a belief that is in opposition to the ruling government or group.
The problem is, as you so aptly gave me an example by your answer, that Americans don't know what persecution is. Persecution to an American is when their Starbucks or Krispy Kreme donut shop is closed for repairs or if someone cuts them off in traffic. Americans as a whole, at least the last two generations, don't have one clue what persecution is. We have not sacrificed for what we have, and that is why people are whining about things they have absolutely no knowledge of.
