Libyan Democracy

Apparently, Libya's 2nd largest city is under control of the pro-democracy movement, thanks to a brave division of the Libyan military:

Let's hope the rest of the military follows suit and forces this tyrant out!

Strikes in Bahrain

The Bahraini Teacher's Union, as well as the main trade union in Bahrain, have called for general strikes tomorrow, 2/20/10, in efforts to push forward the pro-democracy protests that have been ongoing for more than a week.  This will be an interesting balancing act for the US due to the large naval base in Bahrain.

More Strikes in Egypt

If these workers can coordinate with the massive protests that are ongoing, this could be very useful in uniting areas of the country that have not been as involved so far.  If this happens, it becomes impossible for Mubarak to stay in office.
