First Egypt... then Yemen, Bahrain and Iran

The Middle East is in upheaval.

Middle East unrest: Yemen, Bahrain protests continue; Iran hard-liners target opposition - latimes.com

What do you think will be the outcome?

 

A peck of trouble for the near future. Hopefully, eventually at least a couple of those elected dictators will disappear.

 

I won't argue with that assessment but who really knows with the countries involved.

 

First of all, Tunisia was first then Egypt and then the rest. Second, I think that we are likely to lose some dictators that we have been supporting for decades and have to deal with the repercussions of our past support for them. Lastly, I think much like a peace dividend, maybe we'll have a dictator dividend since we will no longer be supporting ruthless dictators. Imagine that world.

 

Egypt was the big one.... Let's also add Libya to the mix...

 

Whatever....

 

So little verbiage from the Windy City.. you must be tired.
