As if the world didn't have enough on its plate already, it sounds like there has been a coup in Fiji. That by itself would not be particularly noteworthy. After all, this is the 4th Fijian coup in 20 years (about as often as we have elections) and, after all, how does a coup in Fiji really impact American interests (or anyone else's, for that matter).
But one thing about the BBC reporting on this cuaght my ear on the way home from work tonight. Apparently, one of the main reasons for the coup is that the commander of the army is angry that the government is proposing to grant amnesty to . . . ready for this? . . . the last group who had staged a coup.
Talk about glass houses and stones and so forth. How goofy a reason for a coup can there be?
