Anyone keeping up with Libya protests? Holy fuck they are brutal. - GoFuckYourself.com

African mercenaries were apparently hired to fight / kill protesters, and in one city the people caught them and HUNG them on the outskirts of town to show the other mercenaries to not come to that town.

That's some medieval shit right there.

Reports coming in of over 200 dead and 700 injured in Benghazi alone.

you gotta wonder if any positive change will be affected in the middle east from all this.... what's next? africa?

That's a nice twist.

My guess is that in the long run, it won't end well.

And like you said, where does it end?

Well . . . we all know who's running Libya, right?

I can't say I'm exactly surprised that this one is playing out like this.

Well... the US has a lot more interest in getting Mubarak out of the way than Quadaffi... do you really think these "popular" uprisings coalesced out of nothing?

:D

would be nice to sell all the despots of the world strung up by years end.

the middle east is oil territory so it'll be fun (NOT!) watching what the USA does ...

but; i still have hope the younger ones will bring the old structures down and come up with smth better ...

B.Barnato · 02-19-2011, 07:55 PM

some very exciting times we live in, but also very worrying

the traditional news channels are unable to cope with coverage

MattO · 02-19-2011, 08:05 PM

At least they're paying attention to their own neighborhood and not blowing us up. Yet.

Real democracy scares the world. This is people rising up and demanding a choice. Americans did it one time too, but another one is long overdue. Do either the Republicans or Democrats represent anyone other than a tiny fraction of the people? Maybe it's time for a moderate group to come into power??

Who needs real medals when you have bodyguards like these.

And only virgins need apply

No wonder that guy doesn't want to lose his job.

But but... USA is like Egypt, a USA rubber stamped authoritarian dictatorship!! They have all the freedom the USA thinks they need already.

Their has been a second dramatic rise in world food prices. I have to wonder if this fact is not an undercurrent in the revolts of current and the recent past? When the people are hungry they fight ...
