Wow. It's been a busy news day. This concerns me becuse there is so much additional unrest around the Mediterranean Sea right now that this could be some serious fuel to the fire.
I am in the U.S. I am only partially stocked. It might actually be time given all the thread topics that are moving today.

First source spelling is Tahir. Should be Tahrir

Dear Diary, today the world was on fire....and I took a rest day from studying for the LSAT.

Things are really in perspective. I don't think things will be the same in a couple of months, I truly believe a world of change is on its way.

I hope this is the big boom needed over there to make all the changes at once.

maybe it's just me... but I'm getting really tired of media outlets referring to every man and his dog as "activists", or even just "youths", or (God forbid) "youth activists" etc.

There seem to be so many different agendas at work in the Middle East right now... it's time we started actually identifying these people for who they are, and putting two and two together.

Who gains from these "battles" and "riots"? Who is behind them? We already know that the earlier protests and riots (back in March) were organised largely in part by the Muslim Brotherhood and friends (sounds like a kids' tv show, really), and that the "youth" of the Muslim Brotherhood were involved in stirring up crowds etc...

Why can't we just state things as they are?
