Unprecedented demonstrations sweeping the Middle East and North Africa spread Wednesday to Libya, where police clashed with anti-government protesters in the coastal city of Benghazi, an independent source told CNN.
About 200 protesters came out to show support for human rights activist and lawyer Fathi Terbil, who had been detained earlier, the source said. Several people were arrested after police confronted the protesters, the source added.


There's something going on over there. Hard to believe this is some type of grassroots movement and not a more orchestrated movement from some outside groups

Or it could be people in these places are tired of being treated as crap, while those in charge make millions.

^Agreed.
I wouldnt be surprised to see many protest throughout the east over the next few years.
Egypt has in a a way, inspired many to do this. Its the reason Iran cut off all outside communications.
if some of these countries can get something done then they wouldnt have to live like crap. Turned out pretty good for us when we said screw the British.

Egypt's population is very anti-American and overwhelmingly in favor of sharia law. If the people in the street have their way, we will long for the days that a military dictatorship kept radical Muslims in check. The Muslim Brotherhood hatched Al Qaeda and the optimism that so many Americans have toward the breakout of chaos in Egypt is very misplaced.

agreed
This spontaneous movement moving across North Africa and into the middle east is to diverse just to be isolated "democratic" grassroots events.
