    Ah I knew something like that would happen. I don't really follow the news that much though.
    Any reasons why they would invade Rome and not America or something?

    Cause we got the biggest most secret weapon of all. Screw all those other countries and their god damn nukes. We got Dinosaurs.

    On-Topic: I don't know if it is because I'm tired atm, or I'm getting too old and my memory is getting bad, but what's with the Tunesia again? Surely I read something about it but I can't remember what it was. Though I might be thinking of something else that I read and am confusing it with this. Or I did read about this but didn't quite catch the name and because of that, I am unfamiliar with the name and therefore have no idea of what you're talking about when I do but I just don't realize the name of the subject we speak of. If that makes any sense. (doubt it)

    Well, to cut a long story...

    A street vender in Tunesia set himself on fire in protest after his wares were confiscated followed with the humilliating harrasement by corrupt officals. That was the catalyst for a nationwide demonstration/revolution that caused the ousting of the president, after a month of deadly demonstrations, who was over 20 years in power. The protests did not end there, however, and it sparked over to other Arab nations due the similair circumstances... so-called the ''Tunesia Effect''.

    Next in the line was Egypt ruled by President Hosni Mubarak (over 30 years in power) who gave up the presidentship about a week ago after 3 long weeks of protests. Although there were many more deaths (over 300 I think) the overall situation was pretty civilised compared to the other Arab nations (excluding Tunesia).

    Libya is pretty much in the spotlights now, and it's certainly is not a laughing matter. Unlike the situations in Libya's neighbours, Tunesia and Egypt, the milltary and police mostly sided with Muammar al-Gaddafi (over 40 years in power) and are very quick to pull the triggers from their weapons and shoot at protesters (although I've heard some units have begun to muniteer to protect and to join up with the protesters). Many high ranking Libyan officials resigned in protest to the violence and I've heard the big boss himself has fled to Venezuela; Civil war may be a possibility.

    Well I think it is quite possible, given the track record dictatorship and never partially stable.

    Corrected, forgot the ''t''.

    Seriously though, I believe it's too possible, but compared to Libya's neighbours, it will undoubtingly be a bloodbath. According to the Arab news cabel''al-Jazeera'': at this very moment the Libyan Air Force is using their heavy equipment against anyone who stands in their way.

    Ah I knew about Egypt but did not know it was present in other countries as well.

    Well once people taste freedom they will never let go. Either people get killed in a war for power or the president/leader takes his leave. In the case they recieve many attention in the media they usually take their leave. A war among citizens will result in a war against nations. They don't want that.
