another unpopular regime............

[LongbridgeMGRover]

a deeply unpopular leader, very wealthy, but driving his own people into poverty.

oil wealth squandered.

a deeply divided society of haves and have nots.

hundreds of thousands of protesters on the streets.
violence erupting. flames and barricades

another Arab state needs invading then to help its freedom fighters??

no. we already have democracy.
