Yes. Similar to the recent Egyptian riots, if not worse.

No one's going to intervene. But it seems some military higher-ups are resigning now.

There is no way that these countries can establish a democracy when they're deeply routed in oligarchy and despotism.

The best they could probably get would be a militaristic 'democracy'.
Signatures are dumb.

http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/co ... =rss_print
  • 2,000 mercenaries in town killing people
  • guy opens hole in base wall with tractor, whole town floods in with knives and stones
  • 36 hours later all mercenaries are dead or captured


Everyone in that town deserves a medal from whatever new government they end up with


you will never rebel against your brutal dictator with nothing but sticks and stones, capture a major airbase and then use the airbase's heavy anti-aircraft weaponry against thousands of African Mercenaries sent to recapture the base

Well it seems the world got it's wish for Americans to stay out of other people's affairs. Now France is trying to do something in place of the Empire.

Really? Nice declarative statement. We're not going down the appeal to history route. Because there's no way FRANCE is an imperialistic player.

Firstly, the correct grammar is "its wish" not "it's wish" which means "it is wish."

Secondly, the USA is in no way an "empire," just think of what the word means culturally.

Thirdly, you're an idiot. Do you even understand what you are saying? Consider US-backed Mubarak and egyptian state corruption leading to the first "revolution". Nice job there guys. What was it that Hillary Clinton called Bashar Al-Assad a few weeks ago, a "reformer"? Saying that it was ok because he was better than Gadaffi..? Again, congrats guys

Oh and fourthly, you're an ignorant nationalistic prick. Nice beret and aviators, "commando", now grow the hell up.

I don't mean to be a prick, but I thought correcting grammar and using direct insults was so 2007/2008. Not defending Roven or anything but it's a bit funny you tell him to grow up and basically act like a 16-year-old. Surely you have more maturity than that.

Agreed with Derek but 2nd and 3rd point is solid.

... and the 4th needs to be said by everyone. It's so obvious he's a nationalist hick.

It cannot be argued that, yes, your post does have its merits, which is why I am asking you to, in the future, amplify those merits instead of degrading them with vulgarity. It is only a suggestion however.
