Tunisia to Egypt to Thailand

Mubarak just resigned. I know the Africa is a long way from Southeast Asia, but in the internet age, do the happenings in Egypt embolden the redshirts?

Or does this have absolutely nothing to do with Thailand?

A joke from the 80's:

The joke from the late 1980s went like this: Mr. Mubarak’s driver came to a fork in the road. He asked his driver which way President Nasser went and the response was, “Always left.” He asked about President Sadat and the answer was, “Always right.”

“Signal left, then right, and park,” Mr. Mubarak told his driver.

It seems that all governments cater to the rich and powerful to the exclusion of the middle and lower class. If the middle class and lower class gets thrown enogh bones they canbe placated. In Egypt, there wasn't enough bones to throw.
