    I suspect Saudi Arabia and Oman may escape the turmoil simply cos the citizens seem to do ok. Democracy is a technicality, what is ours worth really? Pretty much of of a joke, we don't really get a say in our society. If they ended up with a Gordon Brown they'd probably want their kings & sultans back.


    Oman seems quite a decent society too, public worship of other religions allowed for example.
    its about freedom i suspect. the freedom to spout crap and not to get hit on the head for it

    Thank God I live in an 'OUCH' stop doing that

      Will the turmoil stop in Arab countries? Minor problems in China but most of those are doing ok so it won't turn major.

      The really ripe places for revolt are Nigeria, Burma (Myanmar) and Kazachstan. North Vietnamese probably too brainwashed and too isolated to know what's going on.

              I don’t know about that Xog.

              China could be having a bit of trouble with Tibet when the Dalai Lama heads for his re-incarnation. The only person who can authenticate the re-incarnated Dalai Lama is the Panchen Lama and he is a Chinese puppet so has no real authority in most Buddhists eyes.

                  They've been given Protected Geographical Indication status for their pasties this week, so they're quite happy for the time being.
