In this video, Jon Stewart comments on the protests and revolution happening in the middle east, which has now spread to Libya. While a lot of the commentary is spent making fun of the appearance of Moammar Gaddafi (Stewart is a comedian, not a reporter, after all), he also gives a very brief summary of the events in the Libyan protests so far. The speed at which these protests is spreading throughout the middle east is quite fascinating. Since last December, there have already been extremely eventful revolutions in both Tunisia, which led to the ousting of President Ben Ali, and Egypt, which led to the resignation of President Hosni Marubak. Gaddafi, however, has stated that he plans to fight to the death against these protesters. He has already hired mercenaries from other countries to kill those who revolt against him. However, with the recent revolutions in Tunisia and Egypt, it's hard not to wonder how long it will be until Gaddafi too is forced out of his office, and what country will be the next to experience such an uprising.
