CIA, al-Qaeda or some third party? I have witnessed some of the social earthquakes first-hand and from what I have seen, nothing happens by accident or spontaneous. There are no spontaneous gatherings of people. There is always someone in charge. Someone planing. Someone organizing people. And someone paying it. So who is funding this?

Liemberg 0 #13 February 22, 2011 If he doesn't have popular support he WILL fall.. So, who's next? (After Khadaffi - or whatever is the correct way to spell his name....)

Would you still say that if it turns out that the protesters are Islamist extremists trying to over throw the government? If they can set up a peaceful government that reflect the desires of all thier people and seek to live in peace with their neighbors... more power to them. Hey I am good with the people of the country having free elections and if they decide to institute an Islamic state that also is ok. One caveat.. they need to live and let live peacefully with ALL of their people.. if they become repressive.. as they have before.. and then seek to maintain control by whatever means.. then they deserve to also be ousted by any means. In Gaza.. they chose a path that has led to many many deaths by supporting the wrong people. But since they mostly feel the same as their government... then they deserve the war they fomented.
