The Short List - March 11, 2011

• An 8.9 magnitude earthquake has shaken Japan and sent up tsunami warnings as far away as the U.S. West Coast.


• Saudi Arabian police are out in force, trying to dissuade protests.


• The power-sharing government of Zimbabwe, is under threat as Mugabe's cronies seek to chip away at the opposition partners in government.


• The U.S. has a man in Egypt, of course what that will mean is hard to say.


• Rep. Peter King's hearing on the radicalization of members of the Islamic community provided little substance or answers.  Instead, it seems to have disparaged and disrespect people we need to engage with law enforcement.
