Poll question: After Yemen and Libya, which country will be next to successfully oust their current leader?
This year, so far, we've seen the liberation of Tunisia and Egypt.
It is possible that we see the Yemeni President Ali Abdullah Saleh and that country's top general step down before the end of next week: http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=102x4786101
In my opinion the opposition forces in Libya with the help of the UN coalition will remove Gaddafi within a month or two.

So that begs the question of which country (other than Yemen and Libya) will be next to successfully oust their current leader?

If only all states would emulate Wisconsin...we better start, because there is a fresh wave of GOPukers working diligently to take away collective rights and pensions. It has come down to this...cry havoc and let slip the dogs of war. Repukes are going a'down!

8. Maybe it's more like counting the eggs that the hen is still stilling on
and betting on which one will hatch first :)

Protest camp set up in Jordan capital

Hundreds of Jordanians have set up a protest camp in a main square in the capital to press demands for the ouster of the prime minister and wider public freedoms.

"Today is the dawning of the Jordanian revolution," al-Khawaldeh said.

"We will not move an inch from here until our demands are met," he said under pouring rain at the Interior Ministry Circle in the heart of Amman.

Al-Khawaldeh said the protesters want prime minister Marouf al-Bakhit to be "instantly replaced with a liberal government that would quickly implement reforms".

13. Ghadafi will stay.
And what's more, he'll probably have the benefit of seeing NATO fall apart around him.

18. Libya, if and when it happens, will come with a giant asterisk
the size of one of our fighter planes. Or even the gunships they're talking about sending in. :scared:
