This stuff in the middle east looks like Arab Spring against the West

[Conan The Librarian]

It looks like these flash mobs that took down at least a couple of dictators are now being applied to Western countries, with the attacks on embassies etc. Historic stuff. Very interesting to follow. West does not seem to know what to do.

This is the 2012 version of the 9/11 attacks: US sovereign soil attacked in the form of multiple embassies. Possible but still uncertain Al Qaeda root cause for multiple university evacuations in the heartland of the US. Not as racy as flying planes into buildings, but it gets the job done.
 
Reminds me of the hostage crisis under Carter. They knew Carter was weak, and they tormented him. Reagan was elected and the problem was resolved quickly.

CONAN. YEP, and still there are those who support them and make excuses for them. POWDERMAN.

Their goal is as plain as the nose on your face.  They want to unite the Arab/Muslim World.  Starting with North Africa, then spreading through out the Middle East.  From Turkey to Pakistan.  Much of the area once held by the Ottoman Empire.  Then the world one step at a time.
