If your talking about Egypt being overthrown by it's own people, Egypt is in Africa not the Middle East I believe.

Egypt is in Africa but counted as part of the Middle East generally, because of their culture and also their ownership of the Sinia peninsula.

if you guys are talking about the middle east in general,it usually refers to all arabic speaking countries around africa(north) and saudi rabia and its neighbours.

Tunisia, Egypt, now it's also in Yemen and Iran, at least I've heard.. yep, it's spreading. I think it's a good thing that the people show that they do care for politics, and that something happens about the actual leaders; though I do deplore all the deaths and injured caused by the troubles.

BTW this is not only in egypt. There are a handful of middle eastern countries as well. So, in this case WeZG is right. I have no idea what is going on. Seems like the beginning to a revolution or the fall of corruption in the Middle East.

Um, I think this was in Iran, right? Also, these are for now policital demonstrations in the country itself, I don't think this will lead to any world war; worst case is a civil war between government supporting and anti government.

thanks for correcting me but iran and nieghboring countries are very unstable...egypt was lucky that nothing really bad happened i think that, that happened because they are a relitivly stable country. If a bunch of terrerists revolt then that could be good but i think because of their instability there fights might spread and then other countries need join in.

My opinion though...it could just be a &quothase"

No, Egypt was on our side, and Israels side, we might of just lost a good allie in the middle east (Egypt is still in the middle east even though it is in Africa)Iran will hold its own, Saudi Arabia is in a nut shell, and other small countries are having there hands slapped by the Muslim Brotherhood. World War 3? No, not yet at least.

Why should you get involved? These troubles are internal to these countries; unless you clearly take part and murder people of one side, I don't see why there should be any nuking in sight.

Ya so...we didnt see that the war on terror would be a major thing either, most people didnt SEE that it would be as long as it was now. People thought it might would be a quick thing, then people thought it was gonna end in 2008...Its 2011 now and we are still fighting.


My piont is that "in sight" is not exactly proof that it is not going to happen,Im not saying that it will,but you never know if things get ugly
