I think even if it stopped now, it's already the biggest geopolitical event since then—the only thing that comes close would be the US Afghanistan and Iraq invasions, but this is bigger. If it continues it may become the defining event of the 21st century, or at least the first half thereof.
- uxp 16y agoWikipedia was an article on the 2010-2011 Middle East and Arab wold protests, with quite an alarming map. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2010%E2%80%932011_Arab_world_protests http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2010%E2%80%932011_Arab_world_pr... I personally found it very inspiring to see that so many countries in northern Africa and the Middle East have had protests against their governments. Besides Tunisia, I honestly was ignorant of anything else that was going on over there until Egypt got all the attention it did here in the states, of which I am assuming is because they are such close allies/associates to the US.
