First it was Tunisia. The people had Finally had enough of the Dictator there and rose up in frustration, causing the ruler to flee.
Now it has spread to Egypt and Yemen. The Tunisian uprising was really a shocker. It was also a shock to see how quickly the ruler there gave in and fled the country.

In Egypt it is a little different. The ruling dictator there is a little more entrenched, with a better grasp on the police and army to back him up and keep him in place. But these uprisings can be funny beasts. Once something like this starts there is no telling where it will end. It all depends on the level of frustration the people being ruled feel. In Egypt it is starting to turn violent. People are dying, they are burning things. The police and army ore out in full force trying to restore order.
But the funny thing is, is that still the people are out each day, in defiance, protesting, with what looks like no end in site.
Once people get a taste of how change can happen, and get tired of being ruled by dictators, change WILL happen. And if the rulers of Egypt end up fleeing, then where will this stop?

Will these uprisings(in Muslim Ruled Countries) spread to the Arab world? If Egypt falls, can you see maybe Iran in the future? Maybe Saudia Arabia? Syria? Turkey? Maybe Lybia? These countries are all ruled by dictators, where freedom for the people is pretty much non-existant. Is this the backlash the arab world will end up dreading.

These could be very interesting times indeed if what happened in Tunisia happens in Egypt. This could very well be the straw that broke the camels back for the muslim world. Let Freedom speak.
