Population Pyramids of several countrys in the Middle East---Were these uprisings predictable and inevitable?
Click on image to make larger.. A perponderance of young people coming of age in several authoritarian countries/societies is going change the dynamics in the Middle East in the near future. Perhaps this current turmoil was predictable and inevitable...It just took an unusual event to reach a tipping point where action by enough people got the revolution ball rolling..

I think the reason why tyranny in the Middle East has not faced major internal resistance is because the people were insulated within the country and adapted to the status quo. But as a large new generation emerges alongside the age of the Internet, the people of oppressed nations are becoming aware on a wider scale of the attractiveness of democracy. I think this is going to lead to more dissatisfaction and revolution.
