"Revolutionary Chaos-Rivoluzionario Chaos"

In my grief I hear demons shriek;
I weep while wolves and jackals laugh.
Though tears I shed to mourn a hero,
With head raised high, I draw my sword .-Wang Juntao

The recent happenings in the Middle East are growing increasingly serious day by day . All feature large-scale destabilization. seeing the latest twitter feeds it seems that the the epicenter of the upheavals has moved to Libya.Latest Reports coming in from Libya’s second-largest city—Benghazi—says that mercenaries have massacred hundreds of anti government protestors. Some news channels report that that the Libyan government has lost control over the Western Part of the country. According to a statement by Qaddafi son of Gaddafi , protesters have reached the capital—Tripoli—from the eastern part of the country.Political Experts are speculating about what these Libyan “agitaciones” mean. Libya has become an associé important pour l'Europe after he was forgiven for his involvement in the Lockerbie bombing.
But the most frightening fact is that Tehran is trying to introduce a military component into the situation, moreover the dictators may use the time-tested method of blaming the U.S or Israel for the chaos and channeling the protesters rage against these countries and thereby saving their "throne".The most distinct part about this "Jasmine Revolution" is that this is not a revolution by the downtrodden caste but an outburst of pent up frustration by the rising middle-class in these countries, like in Tunisia we found the revolution being led by doctors and engineers, while in Egypt it was by the student community, Social Media channels like Facebook and Twitter have played a very important role in making these revolutions a success. But beneath all this hullabaloo there lies something sinister, Fundamentalists may use this situation to set up base in these countries, they may even start brainwashing the youth, we have to be on our guard.
It is almost certain now that Beijing will soon join the melee, as these countries carry great Geo-political significance and are largely untapped markets with vast potential.

I fight a battle every day
Against discouragement and fear;
Some foe stands always in my way,
The path ahead is never clear!
I must forever be on guard
Against the doubts that skulk along;
I get ahead by fighting hard,
But fighting keeps my spirit strong.

I hear the croakings of Despair,
The dark predictions of the weak;
I find myself pursued by Care,
No matter what the end I seek;
My victories are small and few,
It matters not how hard I strive;
Each day the fight begins anew,
But fighting keeps my hopes alive.

My dreams are spoiled by circumstance,
My plans are wrecked by Fate or Luck;
Some hour, perhaps, will bring my chance,
But that great hour has never struck;
My progress has been slow and hard,
I've had to climb and crawl and swim,
Fighting for every stubborn yard,
But I have kept in fighting trim.

I have to fight my doubts away,
And be on guard against my fears;
The feeble croaking of Dismay
Has been familiar through the years;
My dearest plans keep going wrong,
Events combine to thwart my will,
But fighting keeps my spirit strong,
And I am undefeated still!-S.E. Kiser
