Hey Lief, About those countries that you wouldn't mind revolution in...

Egypt: led by the NDP - Social democrats and members of Socialist International
Tunisia: I guess until recently, the CDR - formerly members of Socialist International
Algeria: Parliament led by  the NFL- an socialist party.
Libya: Controlled by Gaddafi, a socialist dictator.

Sudan: The only one of the 5 with a right-wing government.

Just thought I'd mention it. Tongue

Fail.

Stritly speaking, those parties' ideologies are a blend of socialism and nationalism (no, not national socialism Tongue ), so technically they're a bit of both. Also, Tunisia's former ruling party is the RCD and not the "CDR", and Algeria is ruled by the FLN and not the "NFL".

As I understand it, ElBaradei sort of appointed himself leader of the Egyptian opposition today. Tongue  While this makes him an opportunist as much as an attention whore, he'd still be an improvement over Mubarak, I guess.
