What's Goin' on in the Middle East

Egypt is one of the largest countries in the Middle East.  The Egyptians' were able to have an influence on making their long-term president step down.  With that being said, other smaller countries will feed off of what the Egyptians did to better their country if they feel it is necessary to do so; this will cause a domino effect. Other countries will look at Egypt's situation and see what all they can learn from it and what all they might need to modify to make it more effective for their desired goal.  Countries will begin to feed off of other countries energy and try to accomplish what they have if they do not like what's going on in their own country.  I refuse to believe that everything that is going on in the Middle East is "just happening".  I believe that people analyze other countries situations and see what they could do, or do differently to make a difference within their own country.  The media is also adding fuel to the fire because other countries can actually see what's  going on by watching the news, reading about it, hearing about it on the radio, or just by seeing it when they get on the internet.  Everything that is delivered via media can encourage and or influence other countries to make the decisions that they make.  I do agree with Glenn Beck when he said that the US are hypocrites and that's why the Middle East hates us. The States say that we believe in freedom, but yet we supported Mubarak in his dictatorship to a certain extent.
