Note on egypt revolution

The revolution currently taking place in Egypt is truly spectacular. The implications of its result will have a significant impact on so many different aspects from geopolitical strategy, global economy, islamic fundamentalism, US interests, and the destiny of the entire Middle East. Autocrats, corrupt Middle Eastern dictators, and Mullahs must be keeping a close eye on this. As must as they like to pretend they support the Egyptian protesters in their 'right' to fight against the pro-US Mubarak, they must know deep inside their hearts that a triumph for the demonstrators will mean a green light for all pro-democracy and pro-freedom activists throughout the Middle East. It will set an important precedent. It will be a signal to the suppressed, disillusioned, and disadvantaged populace of the Middle East that they too have a shot at actively campaigning for a change in their destiny no matter how suppressive their leaders may be.
