Are the Arab States Going the Way of the Soviet Block?
One by one, the Soviet Union and its satellites, which were all controlled by a matched set of hideous dictators, fell to the power of the people and eventually got that most fragile of freedoms; democracy. Now, only a couple of the former hard-line Communist states are the sort of places that wouldn’t tolerate people thinking like me.
So are we now seeing a similar domino effect in the various Arab states?
I do hope so, but if we are, will the dictators go as quietly and quickly?
I suspect not!
