The arab revolution

With demonstrations in tynisia, egypt, lybia, syria, bahrain, yemen, saudi arabia and algeria, it looks like the arab world is having a major change.

What is your view on the arab revolution?

Learn about Pigs Bay. The CIA is organizing all these so called "protests".

The CIA is organizing protests against regimes that are friendly/allied to the west?

The CIA is organizing the protests in the nations that we are supporting the protests. ie not Yemen. Yemen has been cooperating with the CIA and has been very helpful to the US. The demonstrations in Yemen are being put down with vicious displays of lethal force. Snipers have shot and killed at least 54 demonstrators with body/head shots. So Libya yes, we want the oil and we'll support the protesters with a quid pro quo but fuck the yemen uprising is the cia mo

The US, huh?
nice tinfoil.

So the CIA is behind everything and now it isn't? Make your mind up.

Personaly I think it was unavoidable. When arabs are able to go online and see how the rest of the world lives, you can't expect them to be very happy with their regimes. Also, it looks like officials in many countries are abandoning their posts and team with the protesters. To me it seems that the arabs have been largely misunderstood. They are not the extremist they were portrayed to be. Or at least not the majority because hotheads exist in all countries and religions. It seems that even officials that worked for these regimes actualy dissagreed but didn't have the opportunity to do something.

In an environment like this, where an oppressive regime is keeping its people backwards, it's no surprise to see the people move ahead, leaving it behind. And of course these people want change. Women want to be able to vote for example, in some countries they are not even allowed to drive.

From a westerner's point of view, if you get past the initial shock about the price of oil and our nation's interests, we always said that arabs are so and so. Things like extremists, uneducated, stuck with their religion, even terrorists (like a whole race of people could ever be terrorist as a whole). I think that right now they're proving (to themselves) or maybe realising themselves that they're not. That they have wasted their lives in a regime that didn't allow them the basic human rights. What better way is there to fight extremism?

I think in a free environment with people who go to work every day and are free to live how they want to, it is much harder for an extremist group to pass its propaganda and to enlist new members.

We'll have to wait and see. To me this seems very hopefull. If the CIA is behind this, which I very much doubt, they should be congratulated. Anyway, I don't think they have such capabilities, I think we'doing them a favor by assuming them having such power and influence.

You know, thinking there's NEVER any conspiracies, or that people never cooperate, is kind of crazy too.

Of course there are cliques of corrupt politicians, cartels, criminal organizations, massive scams, injustices which have been normalized and things like this. What you are describing is an evil boogeyman sitting in an ivory tower cackling as he engineers every single world event but never actually accomplishing anything, which is just intellectually lazy. People like you shit all over the grass roots movements, investigative journalists, detectives and lawyers actually trying to make a difference.

If you want to know who is behind a crime, you have to find the one who profits the most from it.

Who benefits from a general destabilization of the Middle East?
Who benefits from removing a US ally like Mubarak?
Who would benefit from the US losing their naval base in Bahrain?
Who benefits from a disrupted oil supply in Libya, and perhaps Saudi Arabia in the future too?

There are only two countries who profit from all this: Russia and Iran.

Personally, I think it's Russia, they started preparing these protests as revenge for the NATO-backed Orange Revolution.

Make WHAT difference? You faggots are like CHRISTFAGS: You're not content until every fucking nation bows down to socialist moralfaggotry of the highest order. You invade country after country with your faggotry, and go "Well I see that you rape your own sister every night and she loves it. WELL WE WONT STAND FOR IT! FUCK YOU!" and then the despots go "But we have guns to shove up your cunts if you don't get the fuck out of our peaceful country." and then you faggots go "WAAAAAAAAH! Wait until Israel gets to hear this. MOMMYYY!".
You faggots just want to enslave the whole fucking earth under faggotry - that's the "difference" you want to make.

How come nobody here thinks the arabs revolted on their own and/or for their own reasons? Why do we have to take a superpower world view again?

All arabs I've met drink alcohol for example. Is it not normal that they would want to be free to do it in their own countries?

Personally I come from a country that has suffered a US backed dictatorship in the past, and I know that there are always multiple reasons for a revolution. The US doesn't cause these reasons, they just supply revolutionaries where they want them to succeed. Also, the US tend to want more totalitarian regimes because they control them easier (less people to bribe/extort).

Anyway, I'm not saying there is definately no foreign involvment in the arab revolution, rather that there are real causes behind it that need to be looked at. Also the future of the arab world (and the rest of the world in extent) might become very different from what we thought it would be.

Wow, you are one very confused individual. Is that dyslexia or ATD?

>>11
accusing me of random things
No, again, there is a lot of corruption, oppression and suffering in the world and awesome people like me are trying to figure out how to get rid of it, while people like you just want to run around screaming "hurr wake up sheeple christfags zeitgeist alex jones israel rothschild reptilians grey aliens derp derp".

>>14
My main accusation is this: You want to exterminate corruption, oppression and suffering, and replace it with your own FAGGOT corruption, oppression and suffering. Your kind wants to overthrow countries simply because you can't stand to be on the same PLANET as somebody with another world view.

If you don't like Libya, YOU CAN LEAVE!

...but no, you want to FUCK with everyone instead, in the name of your religiously fanatic faggotry.

The only solution is anarcho-capitalism. Then you fags can't come up with these retarded government conspiracies.

the revolution is inevitable, there is no perfect governance and peoples would want someone to be held responsible for shits piling up. wonder why those faggot leaders want to be reelected  in this era

How come there are no libyans to liberate Sweden? We could use some.

>>18
Why liberate Sweden? (Curious because I have no idea why Sweden would need liberating.)

Good thread bump
