The Antichrist's Kingdom
Many believe the Antichrist must come from Western Europe because they believe he must come from a revived Roman Empire. But the Roman Empire included more than Western Europe; it also included the Middle East and North Africa. I believe the 10 toes of the image in Daniel 2:42-44 which are referred to as "these kings" could all come from the territory of the former Roman Empire, for it historically matches the fourth empire described in Daniel 2:37-41, and they could be the same as the 10 end-time kings of Revelation 17:12-17 which ultimately will "have one mind" (Revelation 17:13), so that Europe and the Middle East and North Africa may combine politically again, just as they were combined by the Roman Empire.
I believe the Antichrist must arise out of one of the four portions of the divided Greek empire (Daniel 8:8-9), but he must be diverse from the 10 kings and initially uproot 3 of them (Daniel 7:24). I believe he will arise out of Lebanon (Ezekiel 28:1-10) and take over a Ba'athist confederation of Iraq, Syria, and Egypt, which will have been put together by nuclear force of arms by his magnificent Middle Eastern predecessor (Daniel 11:13-19).
The Roman Empire is identified as only the 6th head of the 7-headed beast that the woman Babylon rides, for Revelation 17:10-11 refers to the 5 empires that had ruled Israel up to the time of John (Egypt, Assyria, Babylon, Persia, and Greece), the one ruling it in John's time (Rome), the one that was to come (possibly the Ottoman Empire), and then the final one that would be a revival of one of the 5 that had fallen by John's time ("that was, and is not"); that is, the eighth head is the rising again of a head that did not exist in John's time, but had existed before (Revelation 17:11, 8). The Antichrist may try to revive a Babylonian empire with a symbolic capital in a rebuilt Babylon.

10 Regions?
Some say the "10 kings" mean the whole earth will be divided into 10 regions. This would be one way of making sense of the verse that says the 10 kings receive power for only "one hour" with the Antichrist (Revelation 17:12). Some of the major nations of Europe and the Middle East and North Africa have had power for centuries before the Antichrist, so it seems hard to fit this verse to them, unless "Kings" are instituted in them and receive their power at the same time that the Antichrist receives his.
*******
One Hour?
While it says the 10 kings receive power for only "one hour" with the Antichrist (Revelation 17:12), this doesn't require they rule for only a literal 60 minutes, for an "hour" in the New Testament can refer to any time period ranging up to 2,000 years: "Dear children, this is the last hour" (1 John 2:18, NIV; uses the same Greek word for "hour" as Revelation 17:12).
*******
10 Successive Kingdoms?
Some say the ten horns refer to 10 successive kingdoms, but note that it says the 10 kings will all exist simultaneously, "one hour with the beast" (Revelation 17:12), and they are all separate from the beast insofar as they all give their power "unto the beast" (Revelation 17:13), and the Antichrist will uproot 3 of the 10 kings at one time (Daniel 7:20). Note also that the 10 kings together destroy the woman Babylon (Revelation 17:16), which is not destroyed until the 7th vial is poured out at the very end of the tribulation (Revelation 16:19).
Some argue that if the 10 kingdoms were at the same time, it wouldn't say the "first" horns (Daniel 7:8). But it would because all 10 horns arise first, before the little horn of the Antichrist (Daniel 7:24).

Iron And Clay
"The toes of the feet were part of iron, and part of clay, so the kingdom shall be partly strong, and partly broken. And whereas thou sawest iron mixed with miry clay, they shall mingle themselves with the seed of men: but they shall not cleave one to another, even as iron is not mixed with clay. And in the days of these kings..." (Daniel 2:42-44)
I believe the reference to "iron and clay" may suggest two different peoples attempting to join together without any lasting success. An example of this may be the Germans allowing a great number of Turks to immigrate into Germany, no doubt resulting in some intermarriages between the two peoples there, so that German and Turkish genes have "mingled themselves" as "the seed of men" has passed from German men to Turkish women, and from Turkish men to German women. "But they shall not cleave one to another" may refer to a lack of integration between the Turkish people in Germany with the Germans there -- some Germans even hold demonstrations to protest any further Turkish immigration into Germany ( http://news.bbc.co.uk/hi/english/world/europe/newsid_1571000/1571679.stm ). And Harvard even has a course now which is solely devoted to studying the Turkish-immigrant problem in Germany ( http://www.courses.fas.harvard.edu/~ger195/ ). There are similar problems in France due to the many Algerians which have immigrated there ( http://barthes.ens.fr/clio/art/geneng.html and http://www.ahtg.net/TpA/algerian.html). So Daniel 2:42-44 may possibly be a picture of an end-time attempted intermingling of the people of Europe with the people of the Middle East and North Africa.
