No the riots are not inspired by the Tea Party. However, we can make the case that they're partly caused by big rises in food prices and high unemployment. If we trace back the spike in food prices, it's because of the huge run up in commodity prices. Follow the chain further and it's because most commodities are pegged at the U.S. $ dollar. So you can conclude that the riots are an unintended consequence of the 0bama regime's trashing of the dollar and his inflationary monetary policy.
In full disclosure, Larry Kudlow made this argument on his radio show this past week, but it makes more sense than trying to link it to the Tea Party which most Egyptians probably haven't even heard of.
