The Arab Street

If you're not watching what's going on in Tunisia, Egypt, Yemen, and to some extent, Jordan, then you're missing the big news stories of the day.

The United States should always be ready to speak out for freedom, for democracy and for human rights. I'm not sure that we've been doing what we should do to instill democracy in those areas, but it looks like they've reached a boiling point.

The choice may boil down to a liberal democracy or another Islamist state. It'll be interesting to watch.
