Which Arab/Middle Eastern/Islamic country would be next to get a revolution after Tunisia and Egypt? My guess goes to Yemen, and maybe Jordan for obvious reasons and perhaps even Lebanon as I think the Hezbollah power-grab there is likely to do even more to polarize the political scene in that country. Also I've heard about protests out of the Sudan making lot of noise. Despite the fact that I get the feeling that President Omar al-Bashir is fairly popular or the people are at least content due to how the Sudanese economy has been doing in recent years, and the fact that he has the North pretty solidly locked down.
However, the country I overall think would be next outside the traditional Middle East would be Pakistan because the sheer unpopularity of the government due to a poor security situation, an economy in very ppor health, and allegations of a corruption and an failure to exhibit any control by President Zardari. Combined further with the facts that the President and current government is seen by some in Pakistani society to be kowtowing and not assertive enough against American pressure, and India to the East.
So any thoughts on where the next Revolution might be?
