What do you call the offspring of Qaddafi?

Dictator-tots!

We'll get to the stats on the right in a moment. This is a map of the the nations within the Middle East experiencing "unrest", as of 2/21/11 (Egypt is merely highlighted, they are all included). Libya is at the forefront right now - 233 dead and Qaddafi's son appearing on Libyan state TV promising quote, "a river of blood" if the protesters insist on the attempted over throw of his father. But more then the individual countries I want to point out something I find worrisome. Follow the list of nations from right to left: Yemen, Bahrain, Iran, Saudi Arabia, Jordan, Syria, into North Africa proper with Egypt, Libya, Tunisia, Algeria, then ending with Morocco. Keep Morocco in mind as we enter those stats on Egypt that accompanies this map. The site provided similar numbers for each of these nations experiencing unrest. The lethal combination of high unemployment (or a bad economy) and the noticeably young, male, median age becomes rather obvious as you go down the list. And as history has shown us, this is the perfect primer for revolution.

Now, reenter Morocco. Do you know where else there exists large populations of largely self-segregated North Africans (predominately Muslim), whom reside in nations in which the government is seen as "corrupt" in the eyes of Allah, and whose economies are on the brink (due to lavish welfare states) in the eyes of anyone willing to open them?

And you can multiply it North from Spain. For decades the indigenous populations of Western Europe have been reducing their birth rates. The European birth rate (minus immigrants) stands at 1.8. Spain is the lowest in all of Western Europe at 1.1. And demographers will tell you the sustainability rate for any society is 2.1. In lieu of producing fresh new workers, who's tax money is needed to maintain the ever growing social service state, Europeans have opted to outsource Man's most basic work of all - procreation. Europeans import worker bees from North Africa the way we do from Mexico. And while both nations have seen a cultural balkanization due to the overwhelmed assimilation (or lack thereof) process, at the very least we know that Mexican Nationals are by and large Catholics.

Lets also remind ourselves that both Western Europe and most Muslim majority nations have something else in common - socialist economies. One may have embraced the religion of secularism, the other a religion that decries it, but their economic models do seem to mesh on a fundamental level. Both also prize the good of the collective over the individual. Be it a caliphate or a central planning government, money goes up this pyramid scheme, and sh*t rolls down.

Much like Creedence Clearwater Revival I see a bad moon rising. I'm not talking shadowy figures of a grand puppeteer behind closed doors maneuvering us into a Orwellian one world government. On the contrary, be it the left-wing Euro-elitists gathering in Brussels, or Sheik X, Y or Z speaking at Arab city square X, Y or Z, these leaders are very much in the open. And they are aligned against us. It seems only natural to me that they will eventually realize they can align together, against us.

And at the very least, we should take notice of this.
