Tunisia, Egypt, Libya, Yemen, Morocco, Iran, Djibouti, Algeria..

Never thought i'd see the day...

The death toll is rising throughout as live ammo is being used in some of the regions...


C/O Skynews:
While each country has its own grievances, the protest movement is said to be largely caused by high unemployment, rising food prices and a large young population who are disillusioned with corrupt and repressive regimes


Anyone think it'll peter out or grow stronger..?

Big stuff this, surprised no-ones mentioned it...

Yeah Libyan death toll is 200 and rising and Iran aren't known for their pleasantries..

Personaaly, I ruddy hope I'm not alone here, that the Uk needs to bloody follow suit and being the government into touch with the real world. I'd would go ona protest march, peacefully. When violence is used it defeats the object.

Which reminds me I must get on and put up my petition to the goverment about making them do what they say in promise inthe election bullcrap. Among others.

Kadhafi's son said that the rebellion would be put down with a blood bath . In Iran it would be much the same thing . Apparently some of the military sided with the demonstrators and today arms stores were bombarded by the libyien airforce .
Brave young people out there are being excecuted , a bullet in the head or neck , just for having stood up and saying " no more!". They know what they risk and are willing to take that risk if it can help free them of a dictator .

It says something when the governments of these places use force, unleash their killers on peaceful protests.

And we bloody do business with them. Says alot about our government.

The french as well ! They are like Khadafi , always ready to screw people for a quick buck .

I don't think that much will really change ultimately even if each revolution is 'successful' largely because of the unbalance in our world ( both politically and economically ) created and maintained by what I believe boils down to egomania. Real change will require a revolution of the [collective] mind.

Having said that I find it inspiring and support them ( only in spirit so far ), especially in Egypt - since it's the only one that I've actually been to - that was quite obviously a mess.

I wonder where the our state will outsource torture to now ... ?

Probably use it here.

So... Thoughts on the GCC actions in Bahrain ( and Iran's objection ), potential for 'western' intervention in Libya, etc?
