THIS LAST WEEK, it has been mostly Chile and Hong Kong.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In Hong Kong, the police administration sent out a media spokesman<\/a> to say law and order were \u201cclose to total breakdown\u201d<\/em>. That was after two days of intensified clashes with demonstrators inflamed by the first deaths on their side, one man who fell from a building, one shot at point-blank range. A police officer was set on fire and 30 people were injured in the latest stand-offs. Now-routine news coverage shows Hong Kong as a battlefield.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
