So, first Egypt now Libya, Iran and China, i cant but think the the US or other World major players are influencing these events covertly, for their own economic gain
Or is t just me.....

It's just you
Aliens.
Or Elvis.
I can't remember which.
suspect the big players would prefer a stable oil price/supply all things considered. and dont really think beyond that principle. Does this help? I doubt it.
Egypt, Libya, Iran, China is an anagram of 'inhibit any place gray'
.
coincidence?
Personally I think that the trouble in Bahrain was instigated by Bernie Ecclestone, because some team that isn't Maclaren is behind on development.

FTFY
I like a good conspiracy theory. Can you please come up with one. I blame Berlusconi, one of his bunga bunga parties got a bit out of hand.
Its the Chaos Theory what caused it........... not the Conspiracy Theory.
This poor ****er was the catalyst for all the events which are unfolding

Actually the Chaos Theory/Butterfly Effect will take you back to when the actions of greedy bankers caused a global credit crunch/recession which led to the situation whereby, having graduated, Mohammed Bouazizi could not find any work.
We reap what we sow.
Of course the greedy bankers could not have caused the international credit crunch if it had not been for deregulation.
I blame Thatcher.
And Reagan.
binners will be along to post a picture of his favourite book sometime.
Nah - it's all an attempt by Jo Burt to divert attention from the Mint Sauce Keyring debacle.
I did have a similar thought, but then again Mubarak was a pro-West leader, plus Gaddafi has been getting on famously with the Western powers for the last few years.
What the west risks by stirring up trouble in these countries is the eventual installation of governments who may be more anti-West than the present incumbents.
I suspect that the West isn't doing much to prevent it, but it would be a very dangerous game to instigate it.
Of course it would have nothing to do with politicians/military types within these countries siding with the protesters/opposition seeing the opportunity to gain power.

The west hasn't stirred up trouble, that's the last thing it wanted to do when you consider the chief export from that region is vital to us and you don't know what flavour of Government will replace these dictators.
The US in Bahrain are in a situation where they support the current Government and that Government has allowed the US fifth fleet to be based there, but cannot intervene as the people there are fighting for the things the US supposedly stand for and went into iraq for...[s]oil[/s] Democracy.
Now I'm off to re-read last years strategic defence review...I'm sure it mentioned something about regional stability...
