The people vs Regimes
 

First it was Egypt now Libya, Bahrain, and Iraq. Libya is now being slowly evacuated. To evacuate all countries that start this we may need world peace. Really we need all the countries around the conflicts to join together in a perfectly coordinated evacuation of the area (ie. as one comes out another goes in etc.).

tunisia was first.

Okay thanks, I didn't hear about that one. The point is I'm sick of hearing about it, I understand why it happening though I'd be sick of someone bossing me for 30 years as well.

Wow a lot of them, wonder who's next on the[URL="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Democracy_Index_2010_green_and_red.svg"] map [/URL]? looks like most of the ones so far share borders, the two standouts for me are Bahrain and Yemen. Coincidence that it happened on 2011 2011 if you reverse the digits in the month.

great just what world war 3 needs.

looks like Oman is the next one to have unrest. Once again fitting the the pattern on next door to one that had/has it already. I Hope the rest of the low indexes all don't go up it'll be 3/4 Africa and then some according to the map.

no fly zone
 

What are peoples thoughts on the no fly zone idea I've heard a lot against it. Most of these are based on the fact that they'd have to use forces from some other place they are now using them, and possible [COLOR="Lime"]use of[/COLOR] surface to air missiles [COLOR="lime"]by gadhafi[/COLOR].

As much as I love the idea of helping the Libyan people, it's hard to imagine a greater violation of sovereignty than to deny a country its own airspace on the basis of a purely internal matter and without a UN resolution. (I don't think a UN resolution is worth as much as a verbal contract, but I mention it for those who may care.)
