I'm starting to lose track. Libya, Egypt, Croatia, Greece, and I'm hearing word of the DRC also seeing a coup coming?

Well, if the rumors about DRC are true, then that's probably next. Saudi Arabia would be nice but I'm pretty sure we're their lapdog and we'd protect them from that.

When the riots began topic

It is the domino effect. The economic crisis of 2008 was also a factor. And like Yertle the Turtle, good folks, mostly young people text messaging, got fed up. :cheers:

Goldman Sachs and friends are playing around with grain futures... creating another bubble in order to make money for nothing.

Yes, definitely. Let's just order things a little.

Rebellions : Libya
Uprisings:: Yemen, Jordan, Bahrain, Algeria
Riots: Greece, Iran, UK, Wisconsin, China.



Hope it keeps spreading. Some governments are living way too happily. I also hope Iran and China get upgraded to Rebellion sooner than later (it will happen anyway). I'd also love to see it happen in Afghanistan and Iraq as well.

Not likely concerning Iran especially since the Obama administration doesn't want to offend the Iranian Government.
