Now here we are in 2011 and The People have overthrown corrupt leaders in Tunisia and Egypt, and they're on the march in Iran, Yemen, Jordan, Bahrain, and the United Arab Emirates. Can Saudi Arabia be far behind?
So how will this play out? Will voices of moderation prevail as W hoped for, or will other equally corrupt, evil dictators (think Islamic extremists) seize power? If Bush was right, the world will be a MUCH better place. If Bush was just being delusional, we're SCREWED!
This is gonna be interesting!

I wish everyone in Arab world the best, its a tough road they are starting out on and its full of pot holes along the way. Heck, the entire planet could use a couple of big breaks and twenty or so years of relative quiet.
ReplyDeleteThose tribes all know and have known each other for hundreds if not thousands of years. Getting briefed by my Arab buddy (he is a diplomat) is an eye opener.
ReplyDeleteThe Christian tribes (Very minority) are the ones who settle land disputes!
Bush was a very poor communicator but was very good with the "Big Picture" . I at least hope he is good with the big picture.
