The protests — all with critical interests for Washington — offer an important lesson about how groups across Middle East are absorbing the message from Cairo and tailoring it to their own aspirations.
The heady themes of democracy, justice and empowerment remain intact as the protest wave works it way through the Arab world and beyond. What changes, however, are the objectives. The Egypt effect, it seems, is elastic.
"This isn't a one-size-fits-all thing," said Mustafa Alani, a regional analyst at the Gulf Research Center in Dubai. "Each place will interpret the fallout from Egypt in their own way and in their own context."
This is a good example of domino effect. I am glad to see all the protests in these countries, considering that it is a very repressed and strictly ruled countries. I am not a big fan of violence but I believe if you believe in something, you must fight for it and that is what people of democracy has been doing for ages all around the world.
I personally have great deal of respect towards the protesters, because Korea gained democracy only few decades ago and there were a lot of protest and violence; but at the end, thanks to all the brave fighters, Korea gained democracy and I believe it became a better country.
I am anxiously watching what is going on in the Middle East. I feel almost honored to live during this revolutionary period.
