The latest in the Middle East and the still just beginning Middle East Breakdown
Bush's intention in attacking Iraq was to get our military back in the Middle East to help Israel establish a safety zone, create a new middle east (dis)order as God told him to, and to establish a permanent middle east presence. I was very concerned that this entire mess in the middle east would take on a life of its own and our military would be left in the middle of it. Well it has happened. Are we smart enough to stay out of it? Or will we be dragged even deeper into it?
The middle east is exploding as we long said it would and anti Israeli anti US forces are trying to use it to their advantage. Israel is nervous as they should be with all their hedging at a real 2 state solution: 34 members of the Muslim Brotherhood amongst the thousands broken out of prison Arab Israelis back Egyptian protestors
Middle East Egypt protesters in Cairo standoff So far over 100 dead and anger is increasingly being turned on the US for supporting Mubarak!
Egypt death toll mounts; army to boost deployment
Egypt's uprising unites society in rage
Muslim Brotherhood and Hamas seek to increase role in Egypt
Yemeni protests turn violent
Are Yemen's protests going to bring another revolution? I'd say there is more of a chance there with Al Qaeda instigating for it than anywhere else!
African Union in new move to end Ivory Coast crisis
Across the Arab world, people living under the thumb of repressive leaders are rising up against the rulers who once seemed omnipotent. It is no coincidence these were all American allies! They are not quite sure what they want. But from North Africa to the Arabian Peninsula, they know they want change. And their wrath and their courage are creating a new form of Arab unity. Fearless protesters challenge regimes around Middle East

This all boils down in all interests to something I learned as a kid and that is "be careful what you ask for" You know what you have but you do not know what you're going to get"

Keep your eyes on Algeria, Libya and Morocco. Algeria I believe will be next. They've had three people set themselves on fire there in the last few weeks. And not much news from that country of late.
This is a sad way to get a geography lesson.
What stinks is we set this in motion years and years ago by buying Muslim leaders that screwed their people and turned our heads as long as they did our bidding.
The worst to me are the king head choppers the Saudi's. The last 10 years has just sped up what was already happening just like here and our decline. The entire shebang is going to blow and nothing is going to stop it.
