Andy at Siberian Light is hosting this week’s carnival of revolutions! Check it out for all of the past week’s democracy goodness.

And Gary Metz has the Iran week in review up.

Gateway Pundit has news up about Rice pushing democracy in Egypt and more protests in Bahrain. Bingo quote:

“For 60 years, my country, the United States, pursued stability at the expense of democracy in this region, here in the Middle East, and we achieved neither,” Rice said. “Now, we are taking a different course. We are supporting the democratic aspirations of all people.”

Right on.

Will Franklin has the transcripts up from his Iran encounter in Houston.

I am also reading The Strategic Implications of the Rise of Populism in Europe and South America, which you can download for free.
