Ever wonder why the US is so keen to promote the 'Arab Spring' which includes the freezing of Arab assets such as Libya's?

"There’s $8 Trillion in global sovereign debt that needs to be rolled over in 2012. This does not include state, local, corporate or personal debt.

There’s simply not enough cash in the world to buy all this debt.

What is worse – who would in their right mind would loan cash today for ten years for a guaranteed return of 1.85%?

When the Arabs learn of word of what they’ve been doing is out they may panic… move a big chunk of funds too fast or the wrong way…really destabilize the monetary markets.

Then the dollar will collapse."

Like this -

ROME -- Italian tax police say they have seized (EURO)1.1 billion ($1.5 billion) in assets from the late Libyan leader Moammar Gadhafi's family and associates, including shares in Italy's biggest bank.

The assets were frozen last year to comply with U.N. resolutions when Gadhafi's forces were attacking civilians in Libya.

This is why the world will continue to buy each others debt. The alternative is a disaster.

Greece is the first to be tossed into the fire. Once one goes, others soon follow.
