Hi Charlotte
I actually agree with that article in the link you provided that
"America Is a Spark Away From Riots of Its Own". There was an editorial in the
Washington Post this past week that made a parallel between the disturbances of the Arab Spring and those in Britain and contrasted the relative restraint of the British police to what is happening in Syria, for example. But it struck me that they should have been looking closer to home and perhaps to recognize that the same could happen here with the same elements, bad economy, political turmoil, government cutting back on services. Could the new American "austerity" lead to similar scenes here?
All the best
Chris
