[QUOTE=voodooattack;28341058]Yeah, I don't mind.. I tried a couple of times but couldn't rename it myself.[/QUOTE] Done. Also, thread titles can't be changed after five minutes of creating it by the way.

President of Russia says there's possibility for Caucasus to hold some revolutions. It could spread the fire of revolution all over the country.

Very interesting thread.

Gaddafi can't leave yet, he has to wait until March so that the rate of 1 revolution per month can be maintained. [editline]28th February 2011[/editline] [QUOTE=voodooattack;28343203]Awesome, thanks.

Its the NWO all falling into place.....

Yeah, same thoughts about China. I imagine things will be very hard there if they try to revolt... Oh boy. They better know what they're doing. If China overthrows communism though, that's going to be big.

[QUOTE=ScoutKing;28351407]I pray that china has a reform.[/QUOTE] It will happen. Maybe not this year or next, but dammit it will happen.

China is more capitalist than the US. Just because you're not a democracy doesn't mean you aren't a capitalist nation.

[QUOTE=Cookieeater;28352089]China is more capitalist than the US. Just because you're not a democracy doesn't mean you aren't a capitalist nation.[/QUOTE] it doesn't make it more capitalist though a few decades of capitalism doesn't compass almost two hundred years of free market with plenty of ups and downs.

So regarding those abandoned military vehicles, are they abandoned because it broke down? Or what?

Looks like it.. In other news, looks like Gaddafi is getting impatient after losing control over most of Libya's oil.. [url]http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-africa-12618367[/url] [quote]Forces loyal to Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi have moved into rebel territory in the east and are battling for an oil installation in the town of Brega. Its manager said government forces took control at dawn without force but the rebels said they had regained the town. Pro-Gaddafi jets also bombed an arms dump in the nearby city of Ajdabiya. Col Gaddafi said on TV he would "fight until the last man and woman" and warned that thousands of Libyans would die if Western forces intervened. UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon says he believes about 1,000 people have so far died in the violence engulfing the country. The UN has suspended Libya from its Human Rights Council, accusing it of committing gross and systematic violations of human rights. The prosecutor of the International Criminal Court said on Wednesday he was formally opening an investigation into crimes against humanity in Libya.[/quote]

[QUOTE]The UN has suspended Libya from its Human Rights Council, accusing it of committing gross and systematic violations of human rights. [/QUOTE] Really. They noticed JUST NOW. Ah well, a delayed reaction is better than no action I suppose.

Born and raised in Iraq here, and moved to the US when I was 11. Been living in the US for the past 10 years. I think the only possible outcome of this Middle East Revolution is that it would make the entire Middle East like how it was 1500 years ago, extremely Islamic, thus putting any halt to advancement like how every other period of extreme religious movements.

[QUOTE=Xenocidebot;28385814]Really. They noticed JUST NOW. Ah well, a delayed reaction is better than no action I suppose.[/QUOTE] These things take time as it required a motion and vote in the General Assembly and they have other things to do since this suspension is largely symbolic, it's not as if the Libyan government really gives a shit about whether or not they're on the Human Rights Council right now.

These aren't extreme religious movements.

[QUOTE=Megafanx13;28386081]How do you figure that? These aren't extreme religious movements.[/QUOTE] Yes they are. Why else did they take away Mubarak from Egypt? You need to read some Arabic news sites.

[QUOTE=collegegrad;28388113]Yes they are. Why else did they take away Mubarak from Egypt? You need to read some Arabic news sites.[/QUOTE] They didn't oust Mubarak because he was secular. They ousted him because he was a dictator. What news have you been reading? [editline]2nd March 2011[/editline] In fact, from what I can tell, none of these revolutions so far started because the groups in question wanted to install Islamic Law. Where are you getting these ideas?

Yeah I really don't get your basis there mate... It's been made pretty loud and clear that this is a secular revolution. None of these countries want to install Islamic Law.

I find it funny how the most riots happen in the countries with the least bacon. (Not mine, saw this on some other website, didn't see it posted to I decided to post it)

[QUOTE=collegegrad;28388113]Yes they are. Why else did they take away Mubarak from Egypt? You need to read some Arabic news sites.[/QUOTE] The Muslim Brotherhood have categorically stated on many occasions they have no intention of being a major player in future politics. Though there is always the possibility that Egypt will turn into a theocracy in the future, there's no evidence right now that it will, and it seems altogether unlikely.
