Those that fall will be the dictatorships that are unwilling to pull the trigger. Although there have been deaths, most were somewhat incidental. Some sweeping 30 cal. tank small arms will do wonders to empty the streets.

Are the rioters willing to die by the thousands and thousands???

The Muslim Brotherhood is the most ardent and fanatical, and will likely have a larger influence than we wish.

Tehran, like Cairo, was a lovely and fairly modern secular city...until 1979.

The MB will preach death to Israel, and large portions of the population will agree. It’s bad news.

I certainly wouldn’t want to live under Mubaraks rule, but the success of this revolution will be a victory for the radicals, not for the freedom lovers.

Well, its all happening, so there will be no need to speculate going forward. I'm being optimistic about Egypt and the MidEast, in spite of history.

Another half century of violence and crap from this nasty little splotch of earth is not what we need.

Algeria has already had protests. They are much more likely to fall than half that list.
