This is just getting ridiculous now.

First we had the 26 year old in Tunisia who set himself on fire because a female officer took his vending cart, apparently that is much worse than a male taking your cart. There are reports that they took the cart because he had no permit, there are other reports that say no permit has ever been required, either way the whole thing stinks to high heaven.
Next we have a revolution in Egypt to protest among other things poverty and high unemployment. Apparently a young lady used social media to gather a flash mob of 80,000 protestors, how these poor starving people were able to afford laptops, cell phones or internet access has never been established. In addition the number of english language tweets coming out of Egypt is highly suspect.
The next domino was Libya where we saw footage of "rebels" dressed in US issue fatigues running away from every flash and bang headed their way. The only footage I ever saw of these rebels was them running (and driving) away. Despite little resistance and overwhelming superiority in weapons and tactics we are led to believe the Colonel is backing down. This farce also made popular the ridiculous phrase "boots on the ground" to help illustrate our hands and feet off participation.
Now Syria is joining the party amid similar circumstances, there is an unconfirmed report of another person setting themselves on fire and I wonder how something like that goes unconfirmed, that kind of thing usually draws a crowd.
If you look at the map all of these countries are right next to each other and they all face the Mediterranean Sea, four countries with long standing leaders have revolutions and within six months the political landscape changes forever.
One last observation. If you draw a line along the coast of the Meditteranean from the top of Tunisia to the top of Syria it creates a shape that is becoming familiar to many people, namely the upturned crescent moon.

You have noticed something I always say. Look at the maps and you will see what is going on and where things are headed.

Another thing besides the TWITTERS are all the nicely made signs in clear written English that are always available and present at these Anti-American Protests.

Well of course, these protests appear valid I am referring to the death to Americas and various other fear sources they want us to believe in.
