In a surprising move, Jordan's king Abdullah II has replaced his cabinet and Prime Minister today. Following continuous protests in Jordan from both Islamist hard-liners and students concerning corruption.  The dismissals come in the wake of similar protests in Egypt and Tunisia, as well as  recent unrest in Iran.  All eyes are focused on the Middle East as world governments ponder how the region's instability will turn out.
