I can't imagine you have missed the protests throughout the Arab world. Way for those guys to go!

I saw these pictures this morning:

I suppose we will have to see if things spread. It is like a mini-version of the French Revolution. In the late 1700's neighbouring countries were worried that what happened in France might spread...

I think all we are going to see are a bunch of limited reforms in the surrounding nations. Good luck to those in Bahrain, Iran and Yeman, but right now I can't see them working, but lets hope they at least bring about some political reforms as have been promised in Jordan.
