Now See The 11 Countries At Risk Of Becoming The Next Egypt
BusinessInsider ^ | 2/11/11 | Gregory White

So the question on everyone's mind is: who's next?

The Egyptian revolution is a challenge to state led authoritarian capitalism, but it is also a response to rising food costs and soaring unemployment. There is also the social media factor, which has allowed protesters to circumvent traditional state run media sources and organize more efficiently.

What countries offer a similar mixture to that found in Egypt? And what investments are at stake?

Bankrupt them. Drill baby drill. They have nothing else in the ME that we can’t do ourselves, grow ourselves, and better.

We must flip the birdie to the environmentalists, the Leftist, Socialist Democrats, rebuild America, bankrupt the ME by doing for ourselves as we should have been doing all along, and see their Sharia World dreams dry up and turn to dust.

We have not only given away our jobs, but our security as well.

Jordan, Saudi, and possibly Yemen and Paki will fall quickly.

Others would turn guns on crowds and protest would be over in 12 hours.

Did you forget the < sarcasm> tag or did you just fall off of the CNN turnip truck?

Like the Shah of Iran, Hosni Mubarak was no angel. Be that as it may, his regime was what kept Egypt out of the radical Islamist orbit.

Remeber how "freedom and democracy" turned out in the Gaza Strip?

Remember how radical Islamist Hamas took over complete control of the Gaza Strip by force of arms even though Hamas only got 43% of the total vote in the election?

Especially with the naive idiot that we now have in the White House, the situation is extremely dangerous.

Wait a year before you start doing cartwheels.

In a year, you might be singing, "Meet the New Boss. Far worse than the Old Boss".

We very well can be seeing this become a regional and perhaps global movement...in Europe and the US we have political systems which allow for changing our government via election process, hence less drama.

The power of Freedom is irrefutable.

I don’t know, the leftists seem to like Syria the way it is.

Klan Pink has had several meetings with Assad over the last few years.

So what? Those political systems have parties thrown out year after year and the people are so fickle that they can’t even make up their minds.

Freedom isn’t what people want, they want money.
