Tabinda Naeem, Urdu VOA News, Washington

This report is a profile on the nature of governments, demographics, and unemployment and inflation rates of the11 countries (Yemen, Libya, Morocco, Jordan, Saudi Arabia, Iran, Syria, Venezuela, Vietnam, China and Pakistan) which were listed by a website http://www.businessinsider.com http://www.businessinsider.com/the-next-revolution-after-egypt-2011-2?slop=1#... as the next possible destination of a revolution. Former US Ambassador to Israel, Edward Walker says that Yemen is a not a "governable" country and the situation is complicated to such an extent that an "organized" and strong rebellion which has potential for success is unlikely to emerge. Brian Katulis at the Center for American Progress says that situations in Jordan and Saudi Arabia are well under the control of the governments and conditions are not ripe for a change. Steven Kull-the Director of International Policy Attitude at Maryland University says that Algeria, Jordan and Bahrain are getting inspired by Egyptian Revolution and the polling data in those countries indicate the growing discontent which is already resulting in a revolt. However, Brian Fishman at the New America Foundation thinks that Egypt was a relatively open tourist country, where Mubarak regime was answerable to the international community and the use of force was not as strong as can be seen in countries like Iran and Syria, where governments are relatively disconnected and not answerable to international community. "Use of Force still matters", he says.
