all turned a bit frosty now if were looking to Egypt where it all began - police state by the looks

 

I have no idea what the people of Egypt expected: They had focus to remove the leader, great. But they had no plan as to what to do next. So you get the military stepping in and taking control.

Not really what you want and a backwards step in my opinion, but they were happy at the time ...

 

And certain people on here said it was all such a good thing

 

Not me.

Next step for most of them will be Hardline Islamism.

And anti-Western states.

You read it first here

 

I read that as Heseltinism for some reason

 

+1.

 

Getting tiring now. Be good if they could just quieten down, it's annoying seeing it on the news every day.

 

Tunisia.

 

Kapenta

 

We need some frost.. It's far to warm here for this time of year

 

Just read the thread title thought it was some kind of sex tool.

 

I feel sorry for the Egyptians now that the chancers have taken advantage of the situation in a bid for overall power.

But what did they EXPECT to happen?
You overthrow your government, you'd BETTER have some ideas, or, sure as eggs are eggs, someone else will

 

You can't blame them for overthrowing the government with the treatment they were getting. What else could they do at the time?

I've heard a number of reports out of Egypt saying that there is a groundswell of feeling away from the central square demos that the country should be a bit more patient, hold the elections and see how it goes. But it will be a struggle to get shot of the military who run/control around 30% of the country's economy.

Syria seems to be in a league of its own at the moment though and there is sod all anyone can do about it really as a civil war seems inevitable. Unless........ someone sticks a bullet in Assad's head.

Iraq? Any one's guess but I hope it does come out of the other side.

Afghanistan. Not a snowball's. Get our poor f,ucking soldiers out and let the Taliban get on with it.

Nuke em!

 

Shouldn't even have been there in the first place and we certainly shouldn't be there now.

Blair, Brown and Cameron and not a spine between them!

 

Blair, brown and Co ought to be facing war crimes charges for getting us in, both there AND Iraq.
