Did you foresee the events in Tunisia, Egypt and Yemen - and what will be the outcome of the riots and protests?

I swear I saw it coming – I predict it’ll happen in Iran as well – which is why I’m sort of glad that Obama took the “soft” approach and may have saved us from a WW3 type situation.

Alas, many smarter and more learned than I feel that democracy just can’t cut it in certain countries, especially African and Middle Eastern ones. Perhaps they are right. But the people have taken to the streets – actually toppled governments, and have asked the world to help them to establish something else – something, shall we say, less corrupt in the least, more democratic like at best.

What will happen?
