What sad times we live in... That has really hit a nerve, what has this world come to...? I really do wish I could do something to help..yet im helpless. I would agree with what some of you have said murder is wrong, no matter what the circumstances ...

I really do hope there is a change, a peaceful change. I am sick of this b*llsh1t. Seriously, firing on your own people? I do hope they get what is coming to them.

Are these times really any worse then the past?

I don't know about you - - but in the 50s - - our government put the fear of communism on us. I think the Cold War was probably more frightening to me - - then the real war.

Duck and cover - - - and building bomb shelters.

It really played on the mind.

Personally i think its all part of the bigger N.W.O plan recently in Iraq and Afghanistan the west has seen much protest by forcing democracy on the world, however if you create the problem from within and make it look like they want democracy without it being forced you acheive the same goal and no-one objects.
Egypt was first now all other eastern countries will follow suit wanting the illusion of democracy and not a more dictatorship, i beleive they are sleeper cells of young 'students' who despite being foreign all speak perfect english and holding up protest signs written in english too.
One by one they will revolt i think the last nation to fall to this will be north korea, this looks like preparation for next years mayan calander climax all the nations will be easier to unite once they are all democracies.
Time will tell.

I think of myself as a very peaceful person and I can count the times I've picked up and fired a weapon on ONE HAND. But if I was one of those protesters and it was either the oppressors or me I'm going to try my damnedest to make sure it's them!

If a state is THAT oppressive then a revolution must surely be justified.

Respect,

No nothing can be done. I feel bad for Obama, one ME country that was an ally having issues is one thing.. having 2 in 2 months?

We prop up the Sunni minority King on the island in exchange for a massive base, which we are expanding.. the Shia have tried to get us kicked off the island entirely.

We have to try and downplay a murderous Monarch, remain diplomatic, encourage democracy, yet keep an ally.. in order to save our largest naval base over seas?

Our entire 5th fleet is housed there, and the island serves as r&r for soldiers.

Imo, we will say things like "y'all play nice now!" And some finger wagging from the big O .. then we will try and pretend its not happening, try and focus elsewhere.

This is shameful! I am completely horrified at those videos. Please please please write to your MP's and demand that your country speaks up against this barbaric behaviour. Its our duty as human beings to support eachother in times of need.

Well they created a monster,

Ba#tards!! The governments of the world kill their own people who gave them power to govern over them!! They are so full of themselves with so much self preservation and fear of losing power over their perceived insignificant citizens. They declare war on their own people, while they sit protected by their "military bodyguards." There's a special place in hell for these people who declare war on the human race. The military is just as responsible as their handlers. Do they not have any compassion for their own people? Are they so weak minded that they are so easily programmed to take orders without any moral thought? The military is there to protect it's citizens not the ruling elite!!
