Middle East Protests

I just have to say, the shit going down in the Middle East is amazing. Not sure if I think it's positive or negative. I do like the "people" sticking it to the "man"; however, I'm no longer naive enough to believe that a better leadership will come to fill the vacuum.

Anarchist Uprising indeed...

To make the obvious World of Darkness reference:

"Looks like the Malkavians have found Lunatic Eruption again."

In the long run, nothing really is going to change. One corrupt regime will be despoed, and another will take it's place, or will soon become just as bad. I don't have enough of an informed viewpoint to necessarily suggest a better alternative.

Imo, things will change [that is, in countries where they overthrown their leaders]. The people have realized what they can do, in times of despair.

If there's a new government (Egypt, Tunisia), it can't afford to have out-of-price primary needs (vegetables, bread, water, milk, ..). Thus, I hope that this, at least, will be fixed, making things better.
However, the threat of a government that wouldn't be overthrown, due to a strong military support, remains.

Looks likely that the first race of the F1GP season (in Bahrain) is going to be cancelled, as that would likely have been a prominent target for the protests to aim at...
