Domino Effect

First it was Tunisia, now Egypt has become a hot spot. 82-year-old Hosni Mubarak, who has been running the country with an iron hand for nearly 30 years, is feeling the heat so much that his wife and son have left the country. Other countries such as Yemen and Lebanon, are showing signs of unrest, and the shock waves have not run their course. If Mubarak were overthrown, extremist elements such as the Muslim Brotherhood could use the fact that we have propped up his regime with billions of dollars in foreign aid against us, and they are in the running as a possible replacement for him.
