Had Ms. Applebaum actually visited downtown Rabat on a random afternoon during the last 8 years or so she would have seen the hoards of youth -who have turned protesting in front of the parliament into full time work for lack of an alternative- being violently beaten, dragged in the streets, arrested, etc. Looking forward to reading your commentary on Morocco's outstanding achievements over the last ten years.

Anyway, I completely agree with you. But - Ms. Applebaum really has no expertise in the region and has no right to even claim understanding of either country.

I left a comment on Ms. Applebaum's op-ed last week. Clearly a tourist in a blindfold. Her rosy perspective might be forgiven were she not an established journalist. Exactly.
