@mispistoleros indeed

and by the way i only said arab becuase its in the name. i know that that alot of diffrent ethnic groups took part.

[mispistoleros]

Me, too, i hope the aspirations of the people to be free from those who oppress them are realized. It's going to be tough going in that the regimes they seek to depose were mostly put on their thrones by Washington, London and Paris and are still allied with the Washington - London - Tel Aviv axis.

@Marko3801, It's right because it's logical and supported by eye-witness accounts. For example, the "Neda" incident, that went viral on youtube during the 2010 Iran Green movement was faked, "Nada". There's footage of her "blood" make-up being re-touched while she chats with the others around her. Rumor has it she was "silenced" afterwards.

The majority of Muslims aren't "Arabs" by blood; it's a grafted-on cultural veneer, not unlike the "Catholic" Mayan hybrid of religious ritual.

@mispistoleros maybe ur right

all i can hope for is that the arabs can remove their regimes and keep independence from the people who opressed them.

@Marko3801, The arab spring rebellions vary from nation to nation. The Iranian Greens, Syria Free Army and Bengazi rebels were organic but were infiltrated and hijacked by Mossad / CIA / MI6. The Egyptians, to date, have resisted infiltration

@mispistoleros ah misconducted wat u said

thought you were just another "arab spring mossad/cia/kgb plot" idiot i keep finding on any arab spring vid these days.

[mispistoleros]

@Marko3801, i don't know which comment i made that you're replying to, this new utube sucks", but can only guess that you misconstrued what i said. i've never defended any dictator but also distinguish between a genuine uprising and a western-engineered fomentation.

[Marko3801]

@mispistoleros its a shame that people like u have been so brainwashed that you cant see that when people rise up against pro western dictaotrs like ben ali its there own will

ben ali was american puppet DUMBASS
