Today they were elections for parliament here in Croatia and we'll have new government, social-democrats won while right-oriented government had their worst result in the last 20 years.

After the new soon-to-be prime minister gave his first speech, "Beautiful Day" followed.

Beautiful Day is about a man losing everything and still being as happy as ever. The above use is quite ironic.

This is so true because clearly after any sort of revolution if it was done by just those in Libya everything would look COMPLETELY different from said photo.

Doubtful. It just means western countries are gonna put more pressure onto Iran until either an Iranian revolution for democracy or continued pressure and/or possible disagreement for those in the NATO treaties.

Where's that oil at anywho?

I think you see my point, Yogi.

I see extravagant irresponsible (maybe? depends on their income) spending leading to people protesting about where money SHOULD go.

I'm a bit confused as to why all these OWS movements are protesting Wall Street...wouldn't it make more sense to protest in Washington against politicians being lobbied by interest groups that favor said Execs they're currently protesting? Just my two cents.

Copy that. Captions could well have been 'Libya during the Vertigo Era' and 'Libya during the NLOTH era'. Hitler didnt bom his own cities, I am sure there are nice shots of Berlin to be found during his period of force.

On the other hand I know that politics are random. We definitely had something to gain during the conflict, otherwise we wouldve looked the other way around.

They finally realized they were protesting in the wrong spot. Good job, OWS....
