This is a very exciting time

Across Northern Africa, and the Middle East there are revolutions brewing everywhere. Here's a map...

It's really a wonderful thing that is happening around the world. People are finally getting tired of living under the boot for so long. These are the types of things that keep the Washington planners of world domination awake at night. What started in Tunisia is now spreading to Saudi Arabia. Saudi Arabia would be the biggest loss for the western powers because we stand a chance at losing control of their oil supply. Iraq is also facing an uprising of people pissed off at the government because they can't provide the people with anything it seems. So now the US domination of Iraq just got a little bit more difficult.

Even though the US is stretched paper thin abroad with all our military involvements, we want to go even further by instituting a "no fly zone" over Libya. Libya is a fairly large country, so this endeavor would be quite difficult.

The greatest hope would be for these rebellions to be a true repudiation of all the US backed dictators we've supported over the years. We can only hope that Northern Africa and the Middle East becomes another power block like the countries in Central and South America where it will become much harder for the US to interfere in other countries' business. If the middle east moves towards a democracy then they will become much harder to topple.

Of course, it is likely that everything won't go well. If we start to experience $5 a gallon oil because of the revolutions, then the dumb and ignorant will blame Obama because of their lack of understanding of history and geopolitical knowledge in general. The only thing he can (and should) be faulted for is for continuing the brutal double standard of selective human rights enforcement. During the Egyptian revolution he tried to seem like he supported Mubarak (to please the Saudis) and the protesters (to appease the rest of the world that values human rights). It failed pretty miserably. What is for certain is that our president hasn't learned the lesson of taking the middle side of the road and getting hit by traffic going both ways.

Let's hope those Washington planners keep losing sleep.

Peace.
