We still don't know what will happen in Tunisia, though i would say signs are hopeful for something Lebanon-esque, which would be much more workable without a strong Islamic Extremist party in the mix.

Egypt will likely be all the more volatile if Mubarak goes down, but there is hope

Are you aware what is presently happening in Lebanon? It is one step away from civil war and/or becoming another Iran run satelite state (with half or more of its population already in their hands).

The statement after the bolded alleviates that. Lebanon was a working democracy for a bit there, just that Hezbollah's presence destabilized it. A Lebanese system without a powerful Islamic Extremist party in the mix could be more sustainable
