They deserve every chance that they can get (or make), and it shames me that our country will do so little to help them in the here & now, tho what can be done? They are rioting in Kurdestan to bring down their own cabal of corrupt old men, plus in other places all throughout the country. Messy indeed, but what else can they do?
Wikileaks has spread light into some very dark corners, which I think helped to galvanize at least some of this seasons’s fires. But commodity prices are still climbing worldwide, and the biggest fuse is still burning: grain production this year is actually declining due to Russia's drought & Australia’s floods, even as we pull more of the crop into fuel for our cars...
When that paticular price shock hits the heavily subsidized markets all across the third world, all hells gonna break loose
