What about Libya?
Any chance of something like this happening there anytime soon?

They have had an unelected dictator calling the shots there since before Mubarak came to power in Egypt.

They also have a similarly huge discrepancy between the tiny group of wealthy elites and the massive number of citizens living in poverty.

And of course they have a repressive regime that does its best to crush dissent.

Any hope for a Twitter revolution taking hold there in light of what is happening elsewhere in the region?

2. What is the source of that photo?
Was the lipstick and eye shadow photoshopped? If not, what is going on there?

3. Egypt to its east, Tunisia on its west
It's only a matter of time. The young will topple these repressive regimes and drag their nations (kicking and screaming if need be) into this century. We can only hope!

4. Nuh, Libya and Syria are the least susceptible of them all.
That's the American clients who will go first. In the decreasing order of sycophancy. After Tunisia and Egypt,
Jordan and Yemen are on deck.
