And thats the problem. Fucking shit up is the easy part...getting a working honest government is hard.

Good honest government only exists when there is good honest people to choose from
oh edit:
Good honest people that will not bend to corporate and other governmental pressures...
so yea not happening, especially in the middle east where so many people have so many vested interests (mostly people outside the middle east)

Government forces are leaving Suez.
And it's not just Egypt, also Tunisia, Algeria, Marocco, Yemen, Jordan.
Looks like empire built in last 50 years is falling apart fast.
Poor Israel, they probably shitting their pants now, reality of being surrounded by Iran-like countries has never been so real.

...by Washington
What's hilarious is that these riots were in part started by Julian Assange (remember that terrorist?) of Wikileaks and the leaked US documents that they're trying to cut his head off for.

Off Topic (different region)...
I heard there is protests in Albania also now. One thing, what happened to Greece. No more protesting? Did they get lazy?

Plus there is protests happening in Jordan also :/ There goes the neighbourhood. North Africa and now slowly but surely the rest of the Middle East.

About fuckin time I say. The people there have had enough of their corrupted regimes. This movement will grow even bigger I believe. Things changing and they are changing fast and there is nothing the U.S. government can do to stop it.

What scares me now is that the zionist regime may consider using its nukes in the region.

They wouldn't use it. Israel would stick to regular missiles to take out military targets. There is no use to use a nuclear weapon, other than killing off 10s of thousands, if not 100s of thousands. It would create more problems and more people will become radicals. The reason why I say it would cause more problems. People here in North America would start destroying synagogues and what not, for shit that happened over there. Which that actually happens all the time. Goes to show how there is some idiotic people on this planet. Something 1000s of kilometers away, they want to import the problem here.
