With Hosni Mubarak stepping down in Egypt, tyrants around the world may be anxiously wondering who will be the next to fall. Here are some gentle suggestions from Freedom House and Foreign Policy.

Foreign Policy

On February 16, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton hosted a Strategic Dialogue with Civil Society. Sherif Mansour of Freedom House was one of the few participants invited to speak during the public portion of the event, providing input on the importance of U.S. support for civil society, support that was conspicuously absent during recent events in Egypt. Representatives from more than 20 countries as well as senior Administration officials physically participated in the dialogue, while interactive video connected participants from 50 embassies around the world.
