Violence explodes around the world as Muslims protest: Furious protesters have targeted symbols of US influence in cities across the Muslim world, attacking embassies, schools and restaurants in retaliation for a film that mocks Islam.
Anti-American protests rage across Middle East:People have taken to the streets in more than half a dozen nations and territories to show their outrage about the film. In Egypt, a running battle between police and protesters in Cairo continued into its fourth day, and Afghanistan saw its first demonstrations Friday. Tunisia, Sudan, and Iraq are seeing increased demonstrations.
In Syria, hundreds gathered outside the U.S. Embassy in Damascus. In Iran, the Islamic Propagation Coordination Council called for nationwide rallies Friday to protest the film and what it is calling a U.S.-backed plot against Muslims, The Islamists are not going to let this die they are going to play this to the hilt.
My only question is what took so long but it took a while to get around and fester? This should have happened shortly after our ridiculous declaration of democracy for the Iraqi's. We are now hearing warnings of so called Muslim rage which is in fact Islamist's trying to keep alive Bin Laden's failed vendetta against the west. Antagonists and Islamists will make the most of this right here in the U.S., now this is going to get going.
I am convinced we are responsible for the Arab spring, the resultant Arab rage and the rage against America. We should not feign surprise or disgust. The middle east as we all know has always been a very volatile region kept in line by gangsters such as Saddam Hussein, moammar Khadafi, and yes King Saud in Saudi Arabia.
I often discuss the turmoil in the middle east and how this too will get much worse as it is just beginning too right now. People always wonder how I can blame all that is going on in the middle east and North Africa on Georgie Bush but just think for a moment and you will realize Bush/Cheney is responsible for the Arab rage against America.
The breakdown Sunni against Shiite against Kurd was guaranteed the day Bush ignored all good advice to the contrary and attacked Iraq. It was guaranteed as soon as we left whether we left today or were stupid enough to hang around longer as we are now being "forced" to do.. From Iraq it will spread throughout the entire middle east compliments of Bush not Obama. If this is success the entire middle east is screwed and it is as you are now witnessing!
In the middle of our "success" In Iraq and the middle east beginning to rage against America vis-a-vis the Islamists I still see a total civil war Sunni against Shiite erupting in the Middle East because Bush freed up Iran to instigate it on their end and they are. I still am concerned we will have a permanent presence in the Middle East but feel we will have to largely leave Iraq to her own demise. We will still be there but it looks like Afghanistan, Libya, Yemen, and the Gulf of Aden will be the prime focus unless Iran gets something going between the US and Iran. Poor Syria will be left to her own demise!
As you know, I talk about it often as I watch Bush's new Middle East (dis)order progress. He ignored Afghanistan so he could use the patriot acts powers to divert from Afghanistan to attack Iraq using the excuse of unseating Saddam so he could get in the Middle East to help Israel establish a buffer zone and establish a new middle east (dis) order or so Israel and Cheney thought. Bush at Cheney's urging made an abrupt shift in policy towards Syria, a shift that has now brought the entire Mideast region to the brink of war and chaos. Much worse than the hell on earth they created for Iraq. Did you ever read A clean Break a 2003 Executive intelligence Review that tells the truth as to our diabolical plans
That plan was put together in 1996 for Israel. They were just waiting for an idiot to come along so they could implement their plan for the Middle East. Along came the life long follower and life long alcoholic loser Georgie Bush. I wish I could say the rest is History but this is still barely beginning and just beginning to take shape. All Bush did by ignoring Afghanistan and attacking Iraq was to guarantee a loss of everything and a complete Middle East and Asian Breakdown.
We freed Iran up to pursue her version of new middle East order by interfering wherever she could while Bush was doing the same thing with his Middle East Democratization program. I think you can see how successful Bush and Cheney were with chaos creating Middle East Democracy program but you are barely seeing the results they created in Iran.
The goal absolutely is to be the country who decides which direction the new Middle East (dis)order will take. Bush started it by attacking Iraq to get into the middle east to destabilize it and start the new middle east order the idiot said God told him to do now it will be up to Iran and Saudi Arabia at least up front fight it out whether this goes the Iranian Shiite way or the Saudi Arabian Sunni way and do not forget Israel!
You know I firmly believe and have said so a million times by now that since 9/11 everything was construed to allow Bush to gain the power he needed to prosecute his new order not just in the Middle East but on the entire world! He diverted from Afghanistan to get back into the Middle East with the goal of setting up a larger safety zone for Israel and going after Iran. Both will fail! It has long been my contention that coming to Israel's aid once they attack Iran will be our in to Iran!
What about the Kurds who want their autonomy and they do not want to share their oil fields period. Nuri Al-Maliki wants that issue resolved and it will never be. In the entire middle east and north Africa and our more than century of interference and exploitation can take the blame for that too.
Bush has created a hell on earth for Iraq that he still calls liberty and success with promises to spread it throughout the entire Middle East Sunni against Shiite. Bush had long wanted a Korea style force in Iraq to secure the peace! That will never work in Iraq or the Middle East! Planting our military in the middle of the mess Bush has created out of the Middle East because of his failed Democratization program is going to be a Custer's Last Stand on a grand scale if we are still there when this breaks open and damn it by hook or by crook we will be! This is going to happen even under a President Obama.
We are going to be in the middle of this regardless. This is still just getting legs and no one is going to like or get what they want. You think $5 gas is bad, can you say $10 gas and rationing of everything?

You need to remember that this has been going on since the cold war. (see my post today) This is decades of being oppressed by U.S. backed dictators. Eventually they will come to the realization that they are part of the world community but the struggle will be long.
On a positive note I'm hearing from the folks in Syria that Assads' army is not going into Lebanon at the moment so that's a good thing.
I'll be over! I think this is the Islamists seizing the moment. They found themselves a winner this time. Did you watch the movie I thought it was good? There is no way in hell the guys fermenting the anger here ever want to be part of the world economy and that is the problem.
