Apparently the Egyptians and not only have to thank the Serbs first.

A month or so. Tops. This isn't over. It's just the start of their problems. The army leadership first needs to pursuade everyone on strike to go back to work. Many have, but many key workers are still demanding more money. Then there's the issue of the police and its relationship with the people and the army. That needs to be 'meanded' and the culture of mistrust addressed. Egypt will get there eventually, but this re-birth will not be without significant pain. Subsequent uprisings across the ME and Arab world, may not be quite so well tolerated by the authorities, and the region may be become very unstable for long periods of time. This will impact on Egypts recovery, as fuel and food prices continue to soar.

Iran is the one to watch. The west is counting on its efforts to 'encouarge' and fund activists and politcal opposition movements, to topple the Iranian leadership. This must now be high priority, as military strikes on Iran seem less likely (in my opinion)

Tomorrow (or today, I'm a bit lost in the international times), 12th of February, Algerians will be "dancing in the streets"...

No matter the country, the idea is the same: keep you entertained and blissfully ignorant of 99% of what's happening out there by making you focus on ONE topic a week...    Yeah they should be concentrating on important momentous stuff like what Palin says.  Damn them  after all these revolution thingies are two a penny You are the one who believes then that the only alternative to Egypt is what Sarah Palin says... Brilliant.    Thanks.  Also West Ham have come out as the preferred bidder for the Olympic Stadium.
