The Fish 10972 Posted February 20, 2011 Share Posted February 20, 2011 There is also an uprising in Kurdistan. Police have shot at people and the Government are stopping doctors from treating people. 5 People have been killed and more than 70 injured. Whats the world come to? Hopefully it's senses? Everyman is born free... or something equally as trite. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why isn't it a good thing for the common man to demand liberty? Sorry, you've got me wrong. I'm all for freedom of speech. I meant not good in respect of what the likes of Gaddafi will do in return.

Billy Castell 0 Posted February 21, 2011 Share Posted February 21, 2011 Looking at the way the unrest has spread, China must be worried. That is because they need all that lovely oil to power their growth, and has invested a shitload in the region, often by backing these dodgy rulers. There is also the slight risk of unrest within China itself, mainly from the Muslims in the west of the country. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems the Chinese are more on top of 'social control' than most countries. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-asia-pacific-12522856 Whats your general take on whats happening Billy? . Where's this all going? Is fundamentalism going to come in and fill the political gap or are a generation of twitter and facebook users intellectually beyond what these groups can offer? The internet was meant to be the next economic frontier, seems to be that no-one can monetise the fucker properly but its changed the nature of human interaction.

Billy Castell 0 Posted February 21, 2011 Share Posted February 21, 2011 Who knows what'll happen. Some countries may get an Arab Chavez type of figure, the army will gain power in others, and a couple of them will have democracy. Iran will probably have a bit of internal disruption, but will ultimately be stable enough to gain influence in the region. However, there is always the risk of the bearded loonies taking over somewhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Billy Castell 0 Posted February 21, 2011 Share Posted February 21, 2011 My thoughts lead me to think Libya may end up with another tinpot General after Gaddafi finally loses power. The air force has allegedly been bombing protesters, whilst a few pilots are claiming asylum by flying their planes to Malta. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Billy Castell 0 Posted February 22, 2011 Share Posted February 22, 2011 Gaddafi currently rambling on about how the US, Britain and other forces egging on teenagers to riot, getting them tanked up on booze and drugs. Other highlights so far has been him saying that local councils can have their own budgets for cleaning parks or something, how Gaddafi and his cohorts beat the USA, Britain and Italy and created a revolution that some people are trying to fuck up. Basically, he just hasn't got it, or he's trying bullshit his way out of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It'll be a workers paradise by then - no toilet paper or booze but hey.......................... Kicking off in Tunisia again. More protests, the new prime minister forced out. Trouble in Oman too, which is one of the most liberal and open Arabic states. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
