The Falling Dominos in the Middle East.




First Tunisia.
Then Egypt.
Now the oppressive regimes of Libya and Bahrain are battling for their tyrannical holds on power against their own citizens.

Moammar Gadhafi appears to be the next domino to fall in a line of decades-long dictators who've refused to loosen his grip on power within his respective nation. It appears that the longer the dictator has been in power (in Gadhafi's case, close to 40 years), the less willing they are to accept changes to the status quos' they've imposed and developed. After Gadhafi is kicked out of power, which he WILL be based on news reports and the atrocities he's committed over the past weeks, Libya will be faced with the difficult task Tunisia and Egypt have encountered. The question of rebuilding and reform will fall upon the nation of Libya and as is often the case, the youth will have more say in the fate of their country; both short term and long term. With so many protests going on in the region, it begs the question:

Who's Next To Go?
