Unrest Across the Middle East, Cont'd . . .

Tunisia's interim government has recently bolstered its troops in order to help stave off any further unrest as the nation tries to implement democratic reforms as rapidly as possible.

A major Google executive, recently released from incarceration in Egypt, has joined at the helm the wide array of protesters in that county .

Who knows where this growing dissent will lead? Will Egypt further descend into chaos, or will another interim government replace the popular, and barely out-going, President Mubarak? Will it make the necessary decisions to implement a stable government, pushing for reforms in an orderly and secure manner?

I am still very interested in the outcomes that are developing in Yemen and Jordan. It is my hope that sclerotic monarchies which rely on tradition and oppression to hold their peoples in check will be brought down, or at least forced to compromise, in the near future.

In addition to the nations already mentioned, I look forward to any long-term unrest necessary to break out in Syria, a backward regime which has already demonstrated a hateful reputation for allying itself with other repressive regimes while subduing other sovereign states in the region.
