From the Associated Press: &...Damn you were right.<br /><br />From the Associated Press: "Riots over rising food prices and chronic unemployment spiraled out from Algeria's capital on Thursday, with youths torching government buildings and shouting "Bring us Sugar!" Police helicopters circled over Algiers, and stores closed early. Security officers blocked off streets in the tense working-class neighborhood of Bab el-Oued, near the capital's ancient Casbah, and areas outside the city were swept up in the rampages. The U.S. Embassy issued a warning to Americans in Algeria to "remain vigilant" and avoid crowds. Riots on Wednesday night in the neighborhood saw a police station, a Renault car dealership and other buildings set ablaze. Police with tear gas fired back at stone-throwing youths through the night." Algeria's violence is unfortunately just the start. The big to keep an eye out on is rice. If the liquidity makes its way there, the Chinese soft landing may just become much, much harder.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1491578955987674499.post-36152180825760831512011-01-06T06:28:25.496-08:002011-01-06T06:28:25.496-08:00I see this as a positive story, namely we need to ...I see this as a positive story, namely we need to remember those hardest hit by high food prices.
