Most people don't give a shit in the case of Iraq and Yemen because they consider both sides to be equally as bad.

I don't see how you consider people protesting against "corruption, unemployment and poor public services" to be bad.

Because when the groups leading the protests were in power they were just corrupt, social conditions were just as bad and they were as brutal and tyrannical as those now in power.

The group leading the protest? wtf? there is no group leading the protest and the current government and all the political parties involved have been in power since the US gave it to them in 2003, and before that was Saddam for 30 years and as far as I know no one else was in power and Saddam is long dead...

Please stop making ignorant statements about my country... kthxbai

Was this before or after the west decided to parcel up middle eastern land based on whims?

Who's leading the protest? My understanding was that it is leaderless.
