Protests in Arabic World

[goga78]

wtf ur talking, millions of people, and that same people are nowhere now, because they are against this so called rebels, U GET IT??? oh my god, when someone simple cant accept truth.

Just for "fun", now its not important coz US/NATO did what they wanted.

especially look at 6:45 and "shit its loyalist" for proof that its American soldier, and we talking about democracy, international law, justice, truth , just horrible and disgusting!

And currently in Libya is big chaos, this rebels (islamists, fanatics, terrorists) are fighting between themselves, than different tribes are fighting for revenge etc.

Transition period. If the usurpator doesn't want to give up power, it comes to a civil war, a revolt, an uprising. Regardles of what kind of ideas the current winners represent, it all was started by your beloved "king of king".

It is really strange. You come from a previously autocratic regime yourself, if you are old enough to have lived through the "old times" and having experienced the old state of things and yet you fail to understand the whole picture. Seems like my stay in Russia gave me a different understanding than your stay in Serbia.

That's how democracy works. Even someone being considered a lunatic can get alected as a Congressman and display his point-of-view openly to all people. Ron Paul is know for standing for a state with a very weak government. He opposes military actions because they cost a lot of money and take place outside of US borders. Actually, his position of foreign politics resembles the one of Republicans in the FDR era. They also didn't want to get engaged in a war outside of US borders. Ron Paul is a staunch advocate of US isolationism. He is living in an alternative world that hardly has sth. to do with reality.
While his points are surely debatable, they are highly controversial, to put it mildly. His alternative foreign policy means just that. Stay at home and no problems will occur. Now imagine, how it would be like, starting with the Second World War. What if...

Exactly the first point that came to my mind when I first watched this.

I share some of his views (although I think that his conclusion is wrong), but the reason I posted this here, is because he addresses some of the issues discussed in this thread.

And a group of Israelis women decided to express solidarity :

I'm really irritated with this way of thinking which this Saudi guy exhibits. I can not believe that this is even an issue in 21st century.

"What's wrong with having constraints on liberties?..."

That's not new, "Arab Spring" or before it. If it wouldn't be for TV and internet, we would exist at the same time in two different worlds, without even knowing it.

I don't know how it works with ˝them˝ (whoever thinks like the guy in the video above), do they believe that God gave them the natural strength just to be oppressive towards women and to consider them as second class citizens or they just have inborn sense of insecurity as men? I fail to understand it...
