In the case of those countries I named, destabilization has been a good thing. In Libya's case, they voluntary gave-up nukes. In Egypt and Lebanon the detsabilization is due to increased democritization. Democracy is the least stable formal government. I hope that form of destabilization catches fire across the region. Let freedom ring!
