The first domino, if you will, was the January revolution that sent the Tunisian dictator, Zine El Abidine Ben Ali, to a rightful and justified departure from the seat of power in this North African country. The wave of revolts and uprisings were set in motion by this one revolution and now there are a dozen actively revolting countries in both the Middle East and Africa with more seemingly on the horizon all over the world. What does this have to do with the United States? Plenty as far as political theories and government authority are used as weapons against free-minded and non-controllable peoples of the world; the American Republic is now being forced to look at their own symbols of power.
