Rahul wonders about the riots in England and in other countries. It's a good question, although none of us had great answers.

There seem uncanny analogies to the Arab Spring. This time too social media seems to be fanning the rioting and helping rioters organize. How does one distinguish between a bad riot and a good riot?

Excellent question. Spin. But who's spinning, and why?
One might wonder why there has been no substantial violence in the US directed at banks/bankers, i.e.the people who got us into this mess. Just to clarify: I'm not advocating violence, just wondering why so clear a target has been spared.

Maybe the same reason animal rights groups attack women wearing fur and not Motorbike gangs wearing leather.
The upper level bankers can [afford to] protect themselves.

It takes many angry at many to riot.
Everyone angry at a few causes a lynching.
