I've got news for you: In "third world countries" like Egypt and Libya, it's all about using the military to oppress the people, and the people won, or are winning, so far.
Since we in the U.S. have even less of an inclination to be enslaved by our government and our military (there's something in the Constitution that says that the U.S. military can never be used as a police force, right?), I think there is less of a chance that anything like martial law would prevail for long here.
Note: Occupy and everything else
already is an international movement. So is the economic crisis.
