Democracy Breaks Out in the Middle East--Again!
Egyptian dictator President Hosni Mubarak has surprisingly announced that upcoming Egyptian Presidential elections will allow opposition parties to field candidates. This comes on the heels of a snub by Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice who cancelled an upcoming state visit to Egypt in March over reform issues. It also follows first time ever Egyptian protests over the re-election of Mubarak.

Who knows if these reforms are going to be real, but isn't it great to see at least the semblance of democracy expand even further?
