Crap is flying in the Middle East

First we had Tunisia.

Then we have Egypt.

Now we also have Yemen and Jordan.

What do you guys think? How is this going to turn out in the end? If there is a new government in these countries, will it be any better than the previous ones? Moreover, do you think foreign countries should intervene to help one side or the other here?? Pos t your answers below.

The protests in Yemen and Jordan have been going on for a while now. They just aren't as serious as the ones in Egypt or Tunisia.

I hope they get democracy going. I'm afraid because sometimes revolutions end up puting extremists in power.

Would I like to see crap flying. Anyways, if the Egypt riots dosucceed, then this is going to be a wild year.

Flying crap?

Someone alert the monkeys. Their weapon of choice has evolved.

It will end well for the Middle east but not for the American Goverment. The protests are currently happening in countries with pro-american goverments. If they become true democracies and represent the will of their people, its unlikely that they will end up pro-american or pro-israeli.

The Middle East has be killing one another sice the dawn of man. Im not surprised that they can't get along.

When I read Jordan... I was like:

"WHAAAAAAAA! How do you revolt against this queen:

" *pic related: Queen Rania*

Then I clicked the link and saw they want the PM to step down and was like "Nice!"

Microsoft shifts some work out of Egypt. :cry:

my eyes get teary everytime i watch the egypt news,their revolt is almost a clone of what we had here in iran a few mounths ago.except they're winning.

The only thing I learned from the Egypt situation is that if you shut off peoples internet they will riot.

inb4 OMG WORLD WAAR THREEEEEEEEEEEEEEE.

The people in Egypt are basically protesting because they want what we have fair elections and freedom of speech, etc. And that muslim brotherhood is against what the people want so I don't see Egypt becoming anti-america/israel. And the muslim bortherhood would only have like 20% control of the government max if they were to come into power.pero2008

bahh egypt has gone to hell since the british had to move out

Its the middle east, this is nothing new.

Egyptians have been living under the rule of a dictator for more than 30 years. All aspects of their lives have been controlled by a corrupt government. They have every right to overtrhow Mubarak and his gang.

It won't end well for anyone. Somehow, America will be blamed in the end, too. Always happens that way.

Well, America has been supporting Mubarak. America is already getting blamed.

The middle east is a scary place. It's almost a completely different world from what most of us are used to.

because everything was going swimmingly up until this point

Whatever, as long as there are no terrorists in any position of power.

ElBaradei said that. And from what I've been reading the people want freedom and fair elections and the muslim brotherhood is probably against that so I really don't see Egypt turning into a islamic state.pero2008

Where are you pulling that non-sense from? The Muslim Brotherhood is the one who put ElBaradei as the front man for negotiations. ElBaradei actually said the EXACT opposite of what you are claiming.

Trouble is you either have these corrupt oligarchies or you get a radicalized islamic govt. It's a lose-lose situation. It's a shame that they can't have a nice secular/democratic government. People can then practice religion freely but not have it government mandated.
