Well that didn't take long did it?

What scares me is that this might be only the beginning...

I think the Egyptians demonstrating gave them "permission," that is OK it appears to be working for them so let's try it.

[Brisco]

I hate to say it but I am sure an RV would help

[hf328]

Firing on citizens is just flat out wrong...I thought that we as a world would have advanced past all this by now. Guess I'm just too hopeful.

It might help them but it would surly help us.

Well. Dinar price should be returning to normal shortly.

Firing on citizens is just flat out wrong...I thought that we as a world would have advanced past all this by now. Guess I'm just too hopeful.

I'm sure they would do the same in the US. If mobs are throwing stones and trying to overrun government officials. Sooner or later they will end up shot.

These crowds are just a bunch of scumbags that want to take over the country and change it back to a Saddam dictator type government.

Too hopeful for peace? That IMO is the problem to start with. We in the US clamor to our government to "keep us safe" (isn't that really peace?) so we SACRIFICE our LIBERTY. Anyone who "hopes for peace and change" ends up with Obama & other savior types instead of securing your own liberty by getting involved, and DEMANDING LIBERTY.

Liberty will always come at the price of sacrifice. If we believe that people "have advanced past all this by now" you deny the evil that exists in the world. The guarantee for that evil to continue is for good men and women, motivated by LOVE will stand up for those who can't stand up for themselves - babies in the womb, the poor & downtrodden, people under despotic leaders, human trafficking throughout the world, etc., etc.

As long as evil exists - and it will until Christ reigns on this earth physically - WE MUST STAND IN THE GAP!!

This will include physical resistance!

Let Freedom & Liberty Reign! EVERYONE READ YOUR CONSTITUTION!

They voted those politicians in. If they have legitimate shortages I apologize. They should have shelters and things to take care of them until things are in order. Governments rarely ever take good care of anyone. You have to learn to take care of yourself.

In the US you have to go to a shelter or something if you don't have anywhere to go. Lots of people living on the streets right now.

More than likely they just want to get one of their charlatan death cult leaders back in control.

Here's a thought, maybe this is what Maliki wants, this way he declares marshall law and locks down the country. He then doesn't appoint the last three major ministers and basically becomes the dictator.

If this happens all of parliment will have to heed to his direction. I pray this doesn't happen but, I"ve

been giving this more thought with the delays and all the issues in the ME. These are IMO.

Stay grounded, calm and be happy
