Shortly after Lybia went down and Gadaffi was killed someone, can't remeber who, from the whitehouse said on camera that Russia, and Iran where next. Seems plain to me that all these protests are a cheep way to destabaliz from within, anyone who might want to take advantage of the US in it's present weakened state. They will be to worried about fixing there own problems to cause trouble. Of course to stay with the theme of this site it maybe to get everyone ready for a world rule that will bring back stability.
