Dominoes Never Had It So Good

The domino theory that meant to justify America's Vietnam adventures was just wrong. Everybody says that now. Anybody notice that right now, dominoes are everywhere you look?

In the Eurozone, first were Greece and Ireland, then it's Portugal, then Spain, then maybe Italy, then maybe Belgium. In the Middle East it's Tunisia, then Egypt, then Yemen, Algeria, Jordan, you name it.

From a balcony at the then Nile Hilton, now the Nile Hotel, these are photos from around Tahrir (Liberation) square, the focus of today's revolution. These photos are from a very polluted, otherwise clear day several years ago.

Here's hoping that whatever happens, happens with minimal loss of life.
