The Arab Uprising.

As absorbing as it is to see the people of various Middle-Eastern nations revolting against their respective regimes and as horrifying as it is to see the bloodshed in Libya, I do wonder how so many people could so suddenly become so organised and revolt in such numbers.

I just wonder what the back story is, who the organiser is and to what purpose they are plunging the Middle East into turmoil.

Only now, a decade on is the true story of our military interventions coming to light. We now know the WMD claims were a hoax, we know that the invasion of Iraq was essentially illegal, we know that the UK cabinet was hardly consulted at all on the policy that has cost so many military and civillian lives.

I would hope that if there is some organising force, some ulterior motive behind these numerous uprisings, the mainstream media will dig it out and display it for all to see, rather than it be left to the blogoshpere and whistleblower internet sites to provide the truth.
