According to a U.S. News And World Report poll, an overwhelming 72% of people believe President Barack Obama is handling the Libya uprisings in the wrong manner. Italy is reporting, over 1,000 people have died in preventable bloodshed.
One hopes these people have not died in vain. I state that because, history has shown such destabilization can turn into civil war and long term instability, when the wrong people attempt to govern and are met with resistance.
U.S. President Barack Obama is still stumbling in his reaction to the widespread violence that has erupted in the Middle East. Ironically, word in the international community from a very credible source, indicates President Obama placed some incendiary, instigative phone calls to the region, prior to the uprising in Egypt, which has spread to other nations in the Arab World, such as Bahrain, Yemen and Libya.
While the Middle East riots, Obama pushes his technology agenda
In doing so, the Obama Administration stirred up a hornet's nest, it has not been able to control, which has resulted in hundreds of civilian casualties. The Middle East is now destabilized, Libya has become volatile and violent, oil prices are rising to record levels and the door is open for all sorts of militants to set up shop in the stead of falling regimes.

This is a troubling time in world history, where drudges are being formed and who knows what they will turn into later. The President is messing with regimes comprised of men, who have very long memories and very short tempers. As history has shown, it will come back to bite America in the butt.

A euphoric Egypt has cleaned house regarding their government. Now they are cleaning up again, but this time literally. Egyptians that protested and rioted in their nation, demanding the ouster of President Hosni Mubarak, have taken to the streets again and are cleaning up using brooms and shovels. How admirable. One can’t help but respect that kind of drive and discipline.
Egypt President, Hosni Mubarak, has stepped down as head of state of his nation. This news comes after intense protests and rioting, aimed at ousting him from 30-years of rule, succeeded in bringing change.
U.S. President Barack Obama has been criticized in the American press for his handling of the matter
Mubarak put forward concessions, such as leaving office after the September 2011 elections, but the multi-billionaire's offers were rejected by the people of Egypt. He has ceded control of the nation to the Egyptian military. Now comes the process of rebuilding and regaining order after the turmoil that ensued.
Egypt has descended into civil war and strikes, as protestors hold out for the ouster of President, Hosni Mubarak. However, the head of state, who has been in office 30-years, has refused to leave, stating he will die in Egypt.
Mubarak is a multi-billionaire, with real estate holdings all over the world. He should step down to return order and peace to Egypt. The people have spoken but they are not being heard by their leader.
Many in the international community fear the Muslim Brotherhood will take over in Egypt. They have been labeled a Muslim extremist group that seeks to impose Islam on the world by force.

Italian Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi is the subject of protests
Italy's Prime Minister, Silvio Berlusconi, is back in the headlines again (like he ever left) and not in a good way. Reports have surfaced, regarding a bidding war among publishers, over nude photos of Berlusconi at one of his many sex parties, attended by minors. The photos of the 74-year-old are being offered at $1.6 million dollars (now that's a statement you don't hear often).
Veronica Berlusconi
Prosecutors in Italy would take said photos as further evidence of criminal wrongdoing by the head of state and add it to the substantial pile they have currently amassed against him. Berlusconi's fondness for underage girls, as told by his 52-year-old ex-wife, Veronica Berlusconi, prosecutors and some of the women involved in the scandal, is threatening his premiership.
Karima el Maroug began a relationship with Berlusconi at age 17
Berlusconi's ex-wife, who was an entertainer, stated in divorce papers, he constantly cheated on her with minors. He also publicly pursued nude models and lavished them with gifts, leaving his wife feeling humiliated. With all the illicit, illegal sex going on, it must be very difficult for him to focus on the job at hand...running Italy.
