We are witnessing history. For the first time ever, countries and cities all over the Middle East, Africa, Europe, China and HERE are rising up against the dictators that have held an iron grip on them for decades and also against well...everything!
There are always people that are fearful of change. If you listen (and please don't! and too many people do) to stupid Glenn Beck, you'd be hiding in your bomb shelter right now. An uprising doesn't automatically qualify as a fundamentalist Islamic takeover. The vast majority of these people are protesting living under barbaric conditions, secret prisons, torture, "marshall" laws and the inability to live, work and trade as they want to.
In this country, there are battles being fought over labor practices and rights and a war brewing between all political parties.
Here is the list of countries that are in the streets protesting now as we speak:
BAHRAIN
CAMEROON
YEMEN
EGYPT
LIBYA
ALGERIA
DJIBOUTI - We never heard of it either
IRAN
IRAQ
JORDAN
KUWAIT
SUDAN
SYRIA
MOROCCO
TUNISIA
PALESTINIAN TERRITORIES
GREECE
AMERICA -
Madison, Wisconsin
Columbus, Ohio
New York, NY - At the UN building
Indianapolis, Indiana
CHINA
Iran has shut down all international press and there is no way to see what is happening there. Brave people have been calling into Anderson Cooper every night and telling their stories, though. They are so afraid to march during the day, that every night thousands of people are screaming "Death to the dictator" out of their windows. Can you imagine? One woman saw her friend gunned down by pro-government forces and vowed to keep protesting until either everyone is killed or they are free.
This is great article that describes each and every country that is uprising and why.
