I don't think "the West" is over and done with all that easily. Further economic collapse might cause further decline in the standard of living for the average e.g. American, but that just makes America more like China.noddy wrote:the new world wont be dysnfunctional societies like the arabs, iranians or westerners, if this all stabilizes into a new peace, its quite obviously going to be asian, with the west fading out peacefully in a manner simmilar to great britain losing its empire and this time its china picking up the pieces instead of america.

CAIRO, EGYPT – Sanaa Roshdy, 54, a housewife in Cairo, Egypt’s capital, was one of many Egyptians who watched a premonitory YouTube video that began to circulate last year named “Message From Iranian Women to Tunisian and Egyptian Women.”
The video features pictures of the life of Iranian women before and after the Islamic revolution there in 1979. Depicting a reversal of women’s rights with the implementation of Islamic rule after the revolution, the video warns women in Egypt and Tunisia to make sure the same thing doesn’t happen to them after revolutions in both countries a year ago and Islamic groups looking to assume leadership.
“I’ve heard people talking about the resemblance between the Egyptian revolution and the Islamic revolution many times,” Roshdy says. “It never made sense to me until I saw this video.”
The video shows women’s participation just as well as men’s in the overthrow of pro-Western Shah Mohammad Reza Pahlavi in Iran. But according to the video, the women were the first to be oppressed afterward in a variety of ways, including strict standards of dress.
During the time of the shah, there had been no dress code for women in Iran, as photos in the video portray. But soon after Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini, who had been a prominent political leader during the revolution, took over, he made mandatory the hijab, the headscarf worn by Muslim women.
Roshdy says that, like in Iran, women in Egypt were also freer to dress in the past.
“As a woman in my 50s, in my youth things were different,” Roshdy says. “We were all about fashion. How we dress was never about having to cover every piece of our bodies.”
But she says dress has already become more conservative in Egypt throughout the years. Validating the video’s message, she says that this will become more extreme if radical Islamists gain control of Egypt.
“Nowadays, you have to be fairly covered to walk around the streets of Egypt, and that is just because of the social standards, let alone if the country is ruled by radical Islamists,” she says. “Not that we wear scandalous clothes anyway, but it has to be a choice, not a law.”
When the Arab Spring sparked in the beginning of 2011, women’s rights and dress were never the focus. In Egypt, the focus was on what people really wanted and demanded in their protests: “bread, freedom and social justice.”

False, sexist, and bigoted claim. There are plenty of Muslim women in the world who aren't subjugated by religious law or live under oppressive dictatorships (e.g. in Turkey). False claims like this infantilize one group and insult the other.

, you guessed.
Supporters of the Al Ahli football club have blamed military council chief Tantawi for the deadly altercations in Port Said.
The Muslim Brotherhood, which prevailed in recent parliamentary elections, went as far as calling the riots "planned." Essam el-Arian, a member of the Freedom and Justice Party, the Muslim Brotherhood's new political party, said, "The events in Port Said are planned and are a message from the remnants of the former regime."
Parliament Speaker Mohammed Saad el-Katatni, of the same party, said the acts had put the "revolution in danger." He described the events as a "massacre" and accused the security forces of gross negligence. Members of parliament have called for the government and the Supreme Council of the Armed Forces to be held accountable for the violence.
In Germany, editorialists at some of the country's leading newspapers examine the tragic events in Egypt and conclude they are a reflection of the continuing struggle between revolutionaries and a military that still holds ultimate power.

Well IMH "what next" is a track with too many road side bombs of uncertainty to know what will be. Things may change slowly or abruptly, with relative ease or cataclismic at times and in random order. We just don't know "the world order" too far in the future. Not even 10 years from now.

continue on "old world order" seems 2B a gradual, accelerating, downhill slippery slope
more of the same will only make things worst, much worst
so , THE question now is , charting road ahead to "New World Order"
Neither the sheep nor the lion same as used 2B.
I know you said this on occasion. But what Ahma and clerics fail to appreciate, is that they needlessly play with fire. Iran and Israel are no natural enemies, I agree with you. Yet the Iranian establishment chose to use cheap, bellicose hate-saturated anti-Israel rethorics over-and-over-again, associate Big Satan USA with small Satan Israel..

Now Rhubarb can say: "Pfffahahuwahahuuaw...that is just cheap Iranian rethorics.. we will build future ties and friendship when USA is out of equation, just as Azari predicts". But no Rhubarb will say that because the facts are that is is NOT just rethorics; Iran actively fuels the Israeli-Arab conflict by its hateful rethorics and providing Hezbollah with rockets, training and providing Syria an umbrella with its nuclear program.
Rhubarb don' take no risk'... Azari. To threaten a nuclearized Jewish Getto named Israel...is playing with fire. It is stupid and not necessary. Continue and pay the price.

Told many times to Ibrahim, real Turkey is Iran.
Only some 14 percent of Turkey's population has Turkic blood

Significantly, however, the one state in the region which has very deep-seated overarching identity - embracing multiple ethnicities - is Iran

In Egypt today, all major political forces — the ruling Supreme Council of the Armed Forces, or SCAF, the Muslim Brotherhood and the government — are embracing anti-American populism.
America .. — cut the assistance and test the durability of the U.S.-underwritten 1979 Egyptian-Israeli peace treaty — or continue to fund an increasingly hostile and unstable state in hopes that democracy will take root.
