    The Arab revolution, country by country

    From the BBC, interesting background to trouble in the Middle East . Bob

    Country by country protests
    I’m pretty sure the dinosaurs died out when they stopped gathering food and started having meetings to discuss gathering food

    A bookshop is one of the only pieces of evidence we have that people are still thinking

    Do they start with the conflicts under Belus or Nebuchadnezzar? [ame="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nebuchadnezzar_I"]Nebuchadnezzar I - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia[/ame]

    They have been fighting in that region for at least five millennia, do you think its going to be resolved soon?

    You won't find me on: faceplant; Scipe; Infragam; LumpedIn; ShapCnat or Twitting. I'm just not that interesting.

    Too much eucalyptus in the air for any of us to be bothered to do something so much as a riot!

    You have the freedom, just lack the motivation.

    Was it Gilgamesh? Or even earlier? Who expelled Abraham from Babylon?

    Now Bashar al Assad is being seen as the bad boy. As Arab dictators go he is a relatively mild one and there is no-one better, only considerably worse, to replace him. The only stable country in the Middle East at present is Israel. The Arab/Islamic ones are madhouses, dictatorships, or controlled by terrorist organisations (Hamas, Hizbollah) by force of arms.

    I lived in countries were the population have "hot blood" and no time for political nonsense and I can telling you that I prefer the way of living in Oz.
    That is one of the main reasons why I am here for 44 years
    We only need to be alert to not loose the quality of life that we have as a result of the hard work and sacrifices done by the old generations and protect that standard of living not only for us but for the future generations.

    I was under the impression that you was talking about riot and I think that riot it is not the best way to stop political nonsense
    Loosing tens of thousands of life is not the best way.
