Throughout our modern history we have heard about a "Domino effect," this inspired wars in Indochina in the 1960's, the age of military dictatorships in Latin America in the 1970's, and the collapse of Communism in the late 1980's. 2011 is the year of revolt in the Middle East, and perhaps beyond, but the big question remains which countries may fall like dominoes after the successful revolts in Tunisia, and Egypt.
Who and Why?
The resource rich gulf and hopeless Africans, has a restless population of mainly young local employed men, and a more modern thinking female population, led by a variety of aging Monarchs. The wealth of this region, or the perceived inequality of the distribution of wealth, coupled with the threat of extremism, and an elderly leadership may drive some demonstrators onto the streets.
Poor Europe and shady south Americans could eventually rise against 'wealthy' Europe.They behind the shiny facades of many American, British and German cities, lays an increasing wealth gap, leading to belief that the system has failed.
What they need?
Revolts start with common grievances, the lack of jobs, business opportunities, a feeling of being repressed or unrepresented in Government.
Democracy can solve part of this problem, but also more open economies, and sustainable job creation programs that truthfully leading to business and employment opportunities are created for a new generation staring at economic and social decline.
