What's going on there is I think very subtile in the sense that it is not a bad thing when a dictator leaves but problem is that the dark side wants to take advantage/control over the situation and direct the flow of the revolutions for the benefit of their agenda. What's happening in these countries was coming anyway because of the bad treatment these populations have had to endure throughout the years with the help of the western world who are only demonstrating their tremendous hypocrisy and are only making a mockery of what democracy really should be.... there is a limit maybe that cannot be crossed. Gaddafi was okay before but now the truth is too apparent so they prefer to disengage totally and point their fingers. So the same with Mubarak they really had a hard time to stop backing him up and remember what happened with Saddam.
Now Tunisia is also moving. If the oil is not sold "we" (EU, USA) are going to have a hard time. Those countries moving towards something better gathers a lot underneeth :| Let´s hope that their manifestos are productive, because the next one taking power can be just as bad.

by everlastinglove_MJ » Sun Feb 27, 2011 8:28 amThis is exactly what is going on in Libya. Because of the fact that this criminal regime is desperate gives them NO RIGHT to deprive the people’s freedom and right to protest! This is a serious crime.
“The UN Human Rights Council has vigorously asserted its role in defending human rights by at long last deploring the rogue regime of Muammar Gadhafi for its brazen violence,” said AJC Executive Director David Harris. “The Libyan regime’s flagrant human rights abuses deserve the fullest investigation and punishment by the world body.”
Libya was elected for a three-year term on the Council just under a year ago, with a majority of 155 of 192 members of the voting in favor of the African country's admission.
by everlastinglove_MJ Reading all well written opinions and gathered news on this topic, the bottom line is that the human rights in Libya are severely repressed, we no longer do not tolerate this, it’s time for justice and it’s about time to ACT.[/size“It appears to be a criminal desperate effort by a criminal desperate regime to prevent people from exercising their rights to protest”.

In addition, Libya has a problem that is similar to the one we saw in Egypt, and that is unemployment.There is tremendous unemployment in Libya despite the oil reserves and despite the huge water projects that the regime has introduced.

It has a very special regime that is locked up in its own ideology.You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login Quoteby Gema » Sun Feb 27, 2011 2:12 pm Now Tunisia is also moving.

Muammar Gaddafi is a real man, real leader, real patriot of his homeland and a father of his nation!!!!!Libya is being sabotaged, infiltrated, manipulated and destroyed by foreign agents lead by the CIA.This is an orchestrated and staged coup by western intelligent agencies which is stirring up young people to protest who don't understand what's at stake nor do they value their country's sovereignty and independence.USA has bought off government officials,(LYBIAN deplomats/defectors at UN and/or US and where ever, handed out protest signs in English and mass produced the former royalist flag.Foreign agents are opening fire to blame the Lybian gov.Quoteby Sarahli » Sun Feb 27, 2011 2:57 pmGaddafi was okay before but now the truth is too apparent so they prefer to disengage totally and point their fingers.

by diggyon » Sat Feb 26, 2011 5:21 pm @Supervisioni like the way you interpret the whole scenario in the Middle East. But what makes you so sure that it is all planned long before?
Is it written somewhere in the newspaper or is it only your personal opinion?
Since I mentioned personal opinion, how do you think this whole up rise in the Middle East will end?
Somehow I feel that you are not optimistic at all!
So what do you think will happen to Europe next?!
Because of that uprise the European economy has been directly affected. I bet some Elite are facing some economic problems as well.
So was that whole scenario necessary in the first place
I guess no dictator would like to step down and leave, other wise he will be killed by his opposers.
I think I read somewhere that Mubarak owns more than 70 billion $. So would he give this money to the Egyptians?
Ghaddafi's fortune is even bigger as he ruled longer than Mubarak. lol.
If someone has 130 billion $ abroad and is about to be overthrown by his own people and is a dictator, then I wouldn't expect to hear something else from him, because he knows what might happen to him if he stepped down on his own: he will be imprisoned, and maybe killed as well.
So why die alone? Let the people suffer a little, exactly the way he is suffering.
He doesn't want to die in vain. These are not the words of a hero but rather the words of a criminal who is about to be caught by the police.
He kills the hostages and fights till the end.
This is not new!
What's happening in these countries was coming anyway because of the bad treatment these populations have had to endure throughout the years with the help of the western world who are only demonstrating their tremendous hypocrisy and are only making a mockery of what democracy really should be....

Israeli president defends Mubarak as peacemaker, warns against Muslim BrotherhoodJERUSALEM - Israel's president said Saturday that Egypt's embattled leader, Hosni Mubarak, will always be remembered for preserving three decades of peace between the two nations.Israel is deeply worried about the prospect that Mubarak could be forced to step down by the unprecedented street protests in Egypt and that a less friendly government will emerge. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has warned that any new government must maintain their 1979 peace deal — Israel's first with an Arab nation.On Saturday, President Shimon Peres delivered an impassioned defence of Mubarak, crediting him with saving both Arab and Israeli lives by preventing war in the Middle East."His contribution to peace, as far as I'm concerned, will never be forgotten," Peres said in an address to hundreds of visiting members of the European Parliament.During the three decades Mubarak has been in power, he has consistently enforced the peace treaty signed by his predecessor, and he has mediated between Israel and the Palestinians.Peres warned against the possibility that Mubarak's ouster would bring the Muslim Brotherhood, Egypt's best organized opposition movement, to power, saying the fundamentalist group won't bring peace."We're very worried about having a change in government or a change in the system of elections without introducing a change in the reasons that brought this explosion, this bitterness," Peres said.He appealed for foreign investment to bring technology, development and openness to Egypt.

All is about power and economic gains. .. they could not give a S...t about human rights .Sorry if you believe otherwise,and I will respect your op.
The people who really care about human suffering are other "regular" humans, people like me and you.
