"Money loophole" and "restlessness"
Almost all people and all countries need money. In the pursuit for a peaceful life, there is no exception either. But obviously, Europe and the Middle East did not have an easy time in 2012.
The first reason is money and the second, turbulence. Many people worried about these two things in 2012.
Affluent it may be, Europe suffered from a disease called "debt crisis" a few years ago. In 2012, the Europeans as well as the outsiders at various meetings tried to present with their prescription to treat such disease. Some said that the high welfare system is the source of trouble; others said the electoral system is the first and foremost reason; there were even sayings that too many tax evaders have led to poor harvest of the government… But, only hard work and long-ranged preparedness can solve the problem from the root.
Compared with the Europeans who shout out that they "need money" while basking in the sun and drinking coffee, people in the Middle East want to stay away from the powder smoke above anything else.
In 2011, the corpse of Gaddafi, which was dragged along the street, excited Libya and the world. Yet not even the downfall of the strong man brought real peace in exchange. This tribal state established a new government, but multi-strand "destructive forces" are still out there and "terrorist attacks" constantly occur.
The new president of Egypt, Mohammed Mursi probably won't ever forget such a title in this year: "Autumn Anger". Political power has been won successfully but national stability has yet to be reconstructed. The "Arab Spring" threw the old president down, but the new president was faced with the "Arab Winter" and saw protesters reappear in the square shortly after taking office.
Alternation of birth and decease, and mixed with joy and sorrow, such stories was endlessly staged.
