Will be interesting to see if Egypt & Tunisia choose freedom or Tyranny by replacing one ‘boss’ with a new ‘boss’ or a radical islamist.

The younger Arab/Mid East generation (from what I can tell) tends to like western culture and wants more freedom but the older generations seem to be cracking down on that generation. IMHO the older generation wins and we will see ‘change’ swing towards extreme fundamentalists. In Egypt (& Tunisia) we will see a repressive, radical government as the result of these ‘revolutions’. The Islamists are more than content to leap in an ‘correct’ any movement towards freedom and impose Sharia law

If we weren’t so involved in the MEast affairs I would tend not to give a flying but since our foreign policy is so fracked I hope I am wrong with what I think happens.

Look for Morocco to tip next … just something to keep an eye on especially from a European perspective.
