In a thugocracy - war works. It's keeps the people in place and compliant. In a democracy it's the opposite - people tire of war and it's costs quickly.

With the ME going unstable - wars and threats of war will become common.

I agree...it can be no other way now. Heck even Egypt's people will not give the Military time to reconstruct and establish all which entails an election...and that takes time...they will not wait as evidened by their continued protests from numerous groups demanding everything and anything they've been denied thus far.

They are now positioning themsleves for another dictator IMO, who will have to clamp down on them in order to stabilize the nation...not to mention the great economic losses occurring added to the damage of these last weeks. It's going to get messy to say the least....meanwhile they are no further ahead.. rather are just creating a worse situation all around. I am not hopeful there is strong enough leadership there to handle all that's happening now...without the military clamping down real hard.

I suspect the other nations protesting will follow suite....the people are not well enough informed, nor have the understanding needed, to see that change requires time and people positioned with the ability to bring these changes. They ALL are demanding higher wages as if this is ever going to be satisifed....in even western nations!
